Dear Ranyee and all, I am very happy to see and learn that GACC has an open mined towards production and distribution of stoves and (biomass)fuel. I belive in smale scale mobile PTO units for refinement of fuel (woodchips and pellet), incl. training and information campains from basic use of a "Panga" to Manpowered driven simple woodchippers, linked to existing transportation channels. The same channel for transportation of fuel could, bring flatpacks back to the rural areas on their return travel from the larger cities. We would be very happy to incl. such a scheme to our pilot on production of pellet from woodwaste and sawdust, linked to assembly of stoves by prison inmates from flatpacks, throughout Zambia. To start with the Copperbelt, where most sawmills are situated in the region.
