Dear Paal, and all,
As much as I can agree with Paal's statements, but I think the cards are
stacked against the success of decentralized efforts.
The issue that Paal raises about the need to have decentralized
production of stoves (and fuels) is a touchy topic because the "model"
of the affluent world is for centralized industrial production. That
centralized model is certainly a cornerstone of the GACC and WB and
many who feel that the model of the affluent world will work to resolve
major issues in the developing world. And they control access to most of
the funding. And they present very convincing arguments. (If they
could not, they would not be in control of the situation.)
It would be good to have some examples of decentralized efforts having
major impacts. Maybe the spread of the Kenyan ceramic jiko (KCJ) is
one example.
I will be at ETHOS and willing for such discussions if others step
forward wanting to discuss this informally as an ad hoc sub-group.

Due to health and age it will not be possible for me to participate, but after
30 years working with task and followed the discussion at Stove list I have
come to this conclusion.
There has to be a discussion at ETHOS about centralized or decentralized
activities regarding fuel and stove production with a view on the enormous
unemployment in developing countries. Taken into consideration the high demands
of clean combustion, pellets will be the future biomass fuel for simple clean
burning such as TLUD ND and FD. Energy forestry and agriculture energy
production together collection of waste biomass of different types will give a
lot of new needed jobs.
· Registration of local waste combustible biomass.
· Use of local resources
· Biochar production by cooking.
That will be the best way for GACC Stove program to support the low income
groups all around the worl
