Dear Readers of Gasification Listserv,
The document that is introduced below is about one component of the full
field of gasification, and could be of interest to some of you.

To ALL with stoves or char-making interests:
After many months in the making, a major document is released today
about the /_Origins, History, and Future of TLUD Micro-gasification and
Cookstove Development_/. At 18 pages length (this version 1.2 is text
only), it is sure to contain some information that you do not know; at
least I learned new things while writing it.
The document is organized in seven time periods. Be sure to check the
periods in which you have been active about cookstoves because you might
be named in the document. And be sure to see the final sections that
deal with future visions for 2015 to 2020, and my own shift in emphasis.
I truly thank everyone who has participated in these first thirty years
(1985 - 2015) of TLUD history. And I welcome everyone to participate
during the future years, which look very promising indeed!!! For
starters, we can expect that TLUD and other micro-gasification will be
in full swing at the November GACC Forum in Ghana (to which I am headed
today via South Africa and Uganda for 3 weeks).
Abstract / Executive Summary
Two major cookstove entities, ESMAP and the GACC, wrote in their May
2015 technical report: “*The most exciting technology trend in the
biomass cookstove sector is the growing range of forced draft and
natural draft gasifier stoves.*” These words refer to TLUD stoves and
related micro-gasification technology that originated in 1985. Their
origin, history and future development are covered in seven time
periods, each with progress that builds upon prior efforts:
Pre-1985: Before modern TLUD micro-gasification – Processes observed,
but not developed.
1985 ~ 1993: Inception – Reed, Wendelbo, LaFontaine and Hottenroth.
1994 ~ 2000: Early exposure to others – Miles, Larson, English, early
Internet, conference in India.
2001 ~ 2006: Additional exposures and incremental progress – Anderson,
BP-Oorja, ETHOS.
2007 ~ 2010: Slowly moving toward acceptance – Wendelbo, Belonio, Stove
Camps, PCIA.
2010 ~ 2015: Enlightenment – BEIA Project, GACC, Roth, Winter, Harris,
char-making for biochar.
2015 ~ 2020: Onward for dissemination and acceptance by users – Toward
30 million TLUD stoves.
Conclusion (Author’s Comment) – Change of focus onto user acceptance and
carbon into soils.
