A new biofuel for developing countries
There has to be a careful balance with biofuels. As seen with ethanol, creating a fuel out of an otherwise usable crop can create supply and demand fluctuations. Additionally, it may even add to a deforestation problem, as more land is sought to grow the crops needed to produce the biofuel.

This is why biofuels made from a waste product are so beneficial, and an MIT team has come up with one answer. The team, calling themselves Bagazo, endeavor to produce coal briquettes out of organic waste and provide it to severely deforested and developing nations such as haitilinks.

It's a fairly simple process they wish to fully exploit through mass manufacturing and shipping. Here's their full dissertation on the project:
