Dear Professor Bhattacharya,
Thank you for your message and you offer of the publications. You and
your associates have done great work, and having that information more
widely distributed (or brought to the attention of more of us) would
be highly beneficial.
Right now for Uganda, we have great interest in the
"... information package (including construction details) on
biomass briquetting machines developed in a number of Asian
countries..."
How could we best access that information? Has it ever been copied
in digial format that could be distributed? Are there any
distribution restrictions on any of the materials that you mentioned?
Personal opinion: There is little and insufficient flow of
information between the Asian activities and accomplishments and the
rest of the world concerning all topics of biomass fuels and stoves
and other applications. How can we correct that situation?

Quoting "Prof. S.C. Bhattacharya" <[email protected]>:
Dear all,
I would be happy to share some publications arising from the following
activities at the Asian Institute of Technology:
1. Sida funded Regional project: An information package (including
construction details) on biomass briquetting machines developed in a number
of Asian countries and design of natural- cross-draft gasifier stoves that
can operate continuously is available. The briquetting machines developed
were improvements on standard screw-press heated die design. Cross-flow
gasifier stoves were designed for different sizes; these do not need any
blower and can operate continuously without any smoke.
2. GTZ funded project on Biocoal: We used the term "Biocoal" (rather than
"Biochar") for charcoal produced from solid organic residues such as
agricultural residues and waste wood. The findings of the project were
reported in a book titled "Biocoal Technology and Economics" by "Regional
Energy Resources Information Center (RERIC)" (email:[email protected]). The
chapters of the 495-page book were: 1. State of the art of biocoal
technology, 2. Biocoal technology: A comparison of options and
recommendations, 3. Carbonisation of sawdust briquettes, 4. Laboratory-scale
batch carbonisation selected residues, 5. Cost and availability of selected
residues in Thailand, 6. Characterisation of selected residues, 7. Biocoal:
Market requirements and Opportunities in Thailand, and 8. Economics of
biocoal production in Thailand.
A few copies of the book are still available with RERIC. A number of
chapters of the book were summarised as journal articles; I will be happy to
share some of these with interested persons for their personal use and
research purpose.
