Dear Paal,
Your concepts for your project are very solid. I and others would
like to know the operational aspects of your project. Is it primarily
a fuels-for-TLUDs project (a worthy effort!!)? And over what time
period? etc.
If it is too early to disclose much to the full listserv, please
consider either a short summary of the project, or an offer of more
details privately to those who agree to not disclose.
Again, congratulaions!!!!!!!!!
Paul

Quoting Paal wendelbo <[email protected]>:
Dear Anderson, Crispin and Richard.
The main principals for our projects I will call it
community based participation both for fuel and for stove
productions. Utilization of local resources with other words.. The
Peko Pe is designed for production by local tinsmith with the tools
they might have. They only need a template and a model; they have
the knowledge how to make it.
First of all we discuss the need of changes, and then
on the fuel side we start up with registration of alternative
biomass for fuel for briquetting, energy forestry for fuel
production. We always start with the fuel .to be sure there is
sufficient quantities and to an affordable price.
The charcoal business, which represents about 15 % of
the adult population, has to be involved from an early stage of the
project. All kind of activities on the household energy sector will
in one or another way have an influence of their business, and with
biochar we don?t know what will happen, but that is one of the ting
we will try to find out. Any how for the charcoal business it is
just to change from charcoal to alternative biomass for household
energy.
The energy loss by production of biochar for soil
improvement is almost equivalent to the energy needed for the farmer
to cook if you include the African way of thinking time is coming
not like by us time is running That is a big difference. A household
need about 2,7 kg charcoal a day for cooking. Form about 10 kg of
dry wood you will get 2,7 kg of charcoal for one day cooking and no
biochar. From .10 kg of dry wood you will get 10 kg of woodchips and
that will be for 2 ½ day of cooking into a TLUD-ND. and about 2.7 kg
of biochar. The pilot project will tell us if this is right or wrong..
Crispin, you tell your Chinese friends to start with the
fuel, e.g. like Richard. I think you know, when you have the fuel
it?s easy tor local tinsmiths to make an efficient TLUD-ND stove.and
they need the job.
