Dung Cakes as Biofuel: Policy, Emissions, and Channel Strategy

A holistic business case for dung cakes as a clean biofuel. We benchmark thermal output, ignition time, burn duration, and visible smoke against firewood, coal, and pellets. The policy section summarizes biofuel incentives, institutional procurement norms, and cleanliness/air-quality guidance influencing adoption in kitchens, temples, and community kitchens. Carbon accounting frameworks outline defensible claims (CO₂e reductions) with lab test protocols, documentation, and third-party verification options.

The go-to-market path separates ritual-led demand from utility-led demand: small packs for households/temples versus bulk for institutions and community kitchens. Pricing models incorporate moisture variability, compression quality, and logistics distance, paired with packaging designed for airflow and safety. A channel scorecard evaluates wholesalers, temple boards, SHGs, and CSR-backed programs. Risk controls include storage guidelines, pest/moisture mitigation, and buffer warehouses before peak seasons. The report concludes with a 90-day pilot plan—sample lots, user feedback loops, and emissions testing—to validate product-market fit and scale responsibly.
