Please send info or a link to info about the TLUD coal stove in UB.
Technical info as well as general description would be appreciated.
And what is its cost or market price?

Dear David
The current cost of a cheap charcoal stove in Lusaka is $1.50 and the
most money people can save for a new stove is about $2.50. After
accumulating that much, it starts leaking out of the pocket.
It is good to see some realistic numbers on what people really can
afford to pay for a product. Stove programmes with subsidies are
expensive to monitor if abuse is to be avoided and in some countries,
nearly impossible to guarantee. For this reason the funding of
development and creating capacity is seen as a better mechanism than
subsidising products. Paying for marketing to launch is a good way to
'invest' in a new stove that is cheap. There was a publicity campaign
mounted in Ulaanbaatar to teach people how to light, run and
particularly, to refuel the stove being rolled out by MCA/MCC which is
a TLUD coal stove. It costs $1m just for that publicity and it was
very effective at changing traditional behaviour. It was money well
spent as the stove, correctly operated, can reduce PM emissions more
than 98%.

Crispin
