Project

“Alis dyaan, amoy usok ka na mamayaaa”.... - a common scenario along the sidewalk of streets where snacks where grilled foods were dipped on sauces, a habit that we never get rid of even we smells like smoke

However behind the delicious tastes of these grilled foods like barbeque, isaw and dugo are coals that take an important role in cooking these foods. These coals came from chopped underwent to burning process resulting to emission of carbon dioxide.

Due to this, 3 students of Peñablanca National High School namely April Mie Marie Taccad, Aidyl Jobhana Cabiao and Honey Rose Quilang conducted a research study about for coals. But what makes it different from common coals and what are its benefits?

Hooking Proposal

The scented briquette research project of Taccad, Cabiao and Quilang is proposed to be an alternative source of coal that can be use for cooking. It is made of used papers and extracts of lemon grass or citronelle and here are its possible benefits :

Reduce Waste Volume

According to the researchers, the said scented briquette product uses only used paper, cut into tiny pieces. This project has the potential to reduce the paper waste volume and will have a great impact on the environment.

Reduce Air Pollution

In terms of grilled foods, smokes are unpreventable for it’s part of the process though through the use of these scented briquette we can lessen the emission because burning is not included in the process of making these briquettes and the only emission is when cooking.

These possible benefits of this briquette can bring conviniece to the community and as well to the environment though it’s still under the process of research. In their recent survey,In their recent survey, 95% of their respondents chose their briquette and have a rating of 9.2 in terms of its smell concluding a good result.So let us support this kind of innovation that mainly aims to propose a solution towards current problems of the society in order for the successful projection of the project when proven safe.
