All,
Is there a more legible copy of the slide set about charcoal? Some of it
would be useful information in other presentations. And other slides
leave questions in mind about what is actually being shown.

Dear Samer,
Thanks for sharing, but if indeed this is fully the case, I wonder why
the reduction of deforestation features so heavily on most cookstove
marketing pitches. (even mine sometimes!)
Further interesting reading that somewhat supports this is a very good
presentation done by ICRAF recently, that is aptly titled, "What
Happened to the Charcoal Crisis"
http://www.slideshare.net/agroforestry/miyuki-iiyamaicrafcharcoal-review2013
It is a very good systematic review of many other woodfuel papers in
East Africa. It seems to be that on farm woodfuel is becoming more and
more of income generating wood energy source.
All the best,
Teddy

Dear all,
Just to contribute on the deforestation discussion. A dated (1997) by
excellent resource by the FAO, which concluded that deforestation
occurs mainly as a result of pressures for agricultural land, logging,
and national infrastructure projects, not for cooking.

Of course, I applaud efforts to source cleaner, more sustainable fuel.
Perhaps these should be grounded in location specific challenges (i.e.
community nurseries), not distorted by general mythologies associated
with global problems and magic bullets.
Best,
Samer
