The global environment objective of this project is to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases by increasing the market penetration of a more climate-friendly brick manufacturing technology. The development objectives of the project include the creation of business opportunities for small enterprises using a more climate-friendly technology, including the possibility of more stable employment for seasonal brick workers, and improving the environmental sustainability of construction materials in the country.
The FaL-G project aims to promote fly ash bricks as an alternative to burnt clay brick within the construction sector in India by facilitating establishment of about 200 FaL-G plants in various parts of the country. The project will promote only small scale plants (production capacity ranging from 2 to 6 million bricks per year) with a view to create business opportunities for
small enterprises.
