Materials Testing of Combustible Bio-Bricks for the Pottery Kilns

One source of energy for the pottery kilns would be made from solid waste and organic matter. RC already has support from Tameslouht's local government to access their landfill. We have also managed an environmental engineering team at the University of Cincinnati to design an improved landfill and waste-separating facility for Tameslouht. In addition, RC's president personally gathered solid waste composition data in the surrounding Al Haouz province as part of his Fulbright research.

​

For further development, RC is asking for institutional support to offer laboratory services to test bio-brick composition to develop a high-combustible brick to be used to power the eco-pottery kilns. This project could be designed as a collaborative university project with an in-person internship or study abroad. Contact ejohnson@resilientcommunitiesngo.org for more information.
