Nikhil asked on behalf of Stovers. I have added the Gasification Listserv to receive this message also. Please reply to your respective lists. This is more about gasification than it is about stoves.

Char-gasification is easier and less expensive (equipment wise) to create gases acceptable into internal combustion engines. That is know for 100+ years. The problem is the loss of energy when making the char. Now the TLUD char-making cookstoves can produce char without wasting the pyrolytic gases. That is a nice fringe benefit.

So I am working with Gary Gilmore (USA char-gasifier guru in western Pennsylvania) (who is not on the Stoves Listserv). The project is called C2P (Char to Power). Gary and I are working with Ken Boak and some possible interest in India. Somewhat slow going, but certainly viable. One of the C2P units has already gone to Mexico.

We do NOT make the engines or gensets. Just the designs for the char-gasifier. We are looking for enthusiasts who would participate with us, and put in their expertise, and not drain us. We are NOT selling finished products (even the documentation of the gasifer is not completed). I assure you that it works very nicely with char from TLUD stoves and from other ways that have been developed to make biochar.

If you want to see "stuff" that is related, search the internet for Gary Gilmore gasifier. You will mainly find some YouTube videos that are not our latest work.

Current size is 2 to 6 kWe (kiloWatts electricity, not thermal), with duration of 30 minutes to continual, depending on the char refilling features. We do not expect to go larger than 20 kWe, and maybe not more than 10 to 12 kWe sustained generation.

If interested, please clearly state your credentials, objectives, location and resources to be involved. Minimum is probably $600 for materials, a good workshop, time, skills, and a genset to be connected to the gasifier. Especially interested in people to do work in India or somewhere else with production of genset to which the char-gasifiers can be connected as the fuel supply.

And we will take our messages to "off-list" discussions. Casual enquiries will need to wait until there are results to announce to these Listservs and elsewhere. Serious investors should write to me directly at [email protected]

I will be presenting this briefly at the ETHOS meeting 27-29 January in the Seattle, and will meet face to face there with those who show up.

If not a trade secret, could you please share the idea with us?

That could qualify for CDM as well!

    Frank,
    ......snip

    Note:  These and other topics will be included in my SPECIAL
    SESSION at ETHOS this year.  (Saturday evening, full block of
    time.)  More details will be available soon.   One of the major
    topics is about TLUD stove potential for Haiti!!!   And also
    making electricity using the charcoal from TLUD stoves.

    Frank, I hope you can make it to ETHOS this year.
