Lloyd: and stove and biochar-policy list
1. Thanks for the alert. I did listen - about 1.5 hours. Very competent
knowledgeable guy from EPA - all kinds of stoves covered
2. I just looked at:http://www.biomassthermal.org/resource/webinars.asp
and today's webinar was not yet listed. I think it will be free and important
for anyone dealing with bigger biomass thermal equipment. Most time spent on PM
2.5 limits per hour. Now 4.2 grams for many classes of apparatus, headed for
1.3.
3. They answered about a dozen pre-webinar wrtten equations, and said they will
later put up answers to another 30 sent in.
4. My two were:
Q1. Any comments on differences for stoves that pyrolyze rather than combust
(and intentionally produce as much char as possible )
Q2. The DC organization called GACC (Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves) has
been dong something similar. They are at version 4.2.2. Any contact with them?

Webinar - Today, 1PM ET
Innovation and the NSPS
How can the EPA encourage innovative new technologies?
Webinar - 1PM ET - 2PM ET Thursday, May 9, 2013
EPA regulations for biomass heating devices often have addressed one set of
problems, and inadvertently led to others as technology developed. The EPA has
stated that in the next wood heater New Source Performance Standard (NSPS), it
wants to "minimize potential loopholes." How can the NSPS encourage and not
discourage new technologies that may be cleaner and more efficient, but have
difficulty with approved test methods? What lessons have we learned from the
existing NSPS and EPA voluntary programs? Register for this free webinar on May
9th from 1PM ET - 2PM ET to learn more.

Description
This webinar is being held in the lead up to the Wood Stove Design Challenge ,
a national competition to promote extremely clean, efficient, innovative and
affordable cordwood technology.
This webinar is co-hosted by the Biomass Thermal Energy Council and the
Alliance for Green Heat.
Topics Include:
• How the NSPS applies to residential biomass heating equipment
• What procedures, qualifications, emissions limits, and technologies are
under consideration for the draft NSPS rule
• The comparative changes from the existing and draft NSPS
• How the new NSPS would promote and handle innovative technologies
• Will this NSPS drive innovation by requiring industry to meet strict
emission limits?
• Question and Answer session with the speaker (questions are requested in
advance)
When?
Date : Thursday, May 9th, 2013
Time : 1PM ET (approximately 1 hour)
