Dear Friends
We don't hear too much from Geres but the list of activities at
http://biocharinnovation.wordpress.com/ is pretty impressive. An interesting
read.
Congrats and Regards
Crispin

Subject: [Stoves] Could barbecues help fight climate change?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252"; format=flowed

October 21, 2010
Durwood Zaelke's emergency plan for tackling climate change ranges from
the Montreal protocol to carbon-negative barbecues
Barbecues that remove CO2 from the air could play a role in the fight
against climate change according to Durwood Zaelke, a leading expert on
rapid responses to global warming.
This year's outdoor cooking season might be over, but Zaelke suggested
at last week's 10:10 talk that from next summer consumers should start
demanding barbecues that do their bit for the planet by generating
rather than consuming charcoal ? or biochar.
Zaelke's idea is based on a stove designed for use in the developing
world by Rob Flanagan. The stove creates heat by turning wood or other
biomass into charcoal, a process that releases combustible gases.
Once the cooking is over, most of the carbon from the fuel remains in
the stove in the form of charcoal. This can then be mixed in with soil,
a process that sequesters the carbon for thousands of years and boosts
crop productivity.
... But whatever we do with non-CO2 gases, Zaelke says, we also urgently
need not just to reduce carbon dioxide, but to get to a point as soon as
possible where the world becomes carbon negative, with humans
sequestering more CO2 than we release. "That might sound crazy," he
says, "but we could do it".
The biochar barbecue idea is, I guess, really just a way for Zaelke to
remind us that there are various techniques ? on big and small scales ?
that we could use to suck CO2 out of the air.

Dear Lloyd!
I Do think barbecues can help fighting the climate change. By adding
environmental friendly fuel also to the "every day" usage as barbecue or
heating, we all will contribute and show our support (the little we can as
private people) to fight the negative climate changes. In a kind of fun way.
Not only to reduce the CO2 emissions, but also for the disposable waste. Here
in Norway, it?s a huge problem during the summer time when people are using
disposable barbecues and are just leaving them behind. Every year over 200 ton
of residual waste are generated in parks and in the nature.
I?m working on a portable natural draft barbecue that are using pellet as fuel.
I see a lot of advantages, it?s: cheaper fuel, environment friendly, no smoke,
starts directly, not only for the meat and vegetables but also to cook water
for the potatoes and rice.
Barbecuing will for sure not give the enormous impact to make the world less
carbon negative, maybe not at all. But hey! Lets agree: It?s better to do
something... than nothing!?
Best Regards
Vetle Cappelen
