Hello again!
I'm using the CDM methodology AMS.II-G: Energy efficiency measures in
thermal applications of non-renewable biomass and I'm facing some problems.
I don't know if this methodology can be applied to a project which aims to
deplace traditional biomass by LPG stoves.
The scope and
Hello,
Am actually surprised that Africa is exporting charcoal to Europe!
Well, there are numerous initiatives in Uganda making carbonized
briquettes. This could be the same all around Africa and this is our
chance to make quality briquettes mainly for domestic use (from
straws, dry leaves,
Ron,
My answer is yes
Not to be facetious but the idea is to offer both solutions and let the user
decide which is best. Crispin's elucidation on char production in relation to
the grill design was entirely new to me but combined with my own experience in
observing the bridging effect in
Nolbert,
I wanted to mention to you that there is a big distinction between making
carbonized briquettes and blending normal agresidue briquettes with char
residues.
On the one had you are charring residues in the field which immediately reduces
50% + of their raw energy value. (I have yet
Dear Candela
There seems to be a problem with the link you provide below. Could you please
check it?

Dear Crispin, Richard and Vincent,
I should like to make some remarks regarding the practice in the use of
a stove with a grate fuelled with thin sticks or appropriate pellets:
The lighting is greatly simplified if one places igniting paper in the
form of three or four rolls, crosswise to
Dear Nolbert
There are rules for importation of charcoal to the EU one of which is that
the source has to be harvested sustainably. An example of a success
according to this rule is that Senegal is exporting charcoaled extruded
biomass logs made from Tiffa or bulrushes. They have invaded the

Hi everyone,
I will be attending ETHOS and wish to go to Aprovecho after. I have a new
TLUD-style stove prototype to share. I am looking to catch a ride from
Seattle to Cottage Grove on Sunday afternoon or Monday.
Any one have room?

Hola Candela,
The project activity you are talking about involves the switch from
biomass (a renewable fuel) to LPG (fossil fuel). Arguably, this switch
is not sustainable. Now, the CDM accepts the concept of Non Renewable
Biomass (NRB) for the dissemination of improved devices using biomass
that
Ron and all,
And to add my two cents..
I agree with Ron on Time spent tending the fire.
Unless all testing is done in the field, that is take in a group of stoves
and see which one works the best then take the group of stoves to another
site, I think a big discrepancy will be the
Stovers,
One question I have been wondering (and wonder if it has been tested) is
what is the most optimum temperature for the fire box? For example will
pyrolysis gasses produced at 450c and sent to the secondary produce a more
or less polluted exhaust gas than one with a much higher

Crispin and list:
I have again added “stoves” back in. Your following is valuable in the
discourse presumed for the ETHOS meeting.
Re #1: I still think it would be relatively easy to run the tests with a
maximum percentage allocation of time specified by the manufacturer (and
reported).
Darius,
It depends on where you are located due to climatic conditions. We found that
just by blowing cold air up though the pile using perforated agricultural
drainage pipe in the UK was enough to stop the rapid composting effect caused
by the green pile heating. This was in the UK with

You are a man of few words, or do they charge by the word for your phone(:-)
What quantity are you talking about?
Biomass type wood/bamboo/brush wood,etc.
Do you have any heat available?
How do you currently dry chips?
