[Stoves] re Charcoal in Ganbia

[Paal wendelbo]

Georg and stovers
Biochar has come to be, no doubt about that, and what happen in Cambia is what will happen allover as long as you have charcoal fans like Crispin and others. People are desperate for money. The low prices of charcoal will lead to more use of forest, probably short time cheaper household energy, but also competition about the resources for production of charcoal. The women of Richards will loose their material for making briquettes with the enormous quantities char needed for soil improvement.

             Taken into consideration the fact, the losses of combustible gases lost by production of charcoal,  could nearby cover the need of household energy for people using charcoal for cooking. By changing to charcoal-producing TLUD stoves, whatever Crispin will try to tell us, you will utilize this gases for cooking and in addition have about 20% char left, which could go back to soil improvement. 

            You would have a win/win situation. By changing from charcoal to TLUD, you will have more energy, better health, higher agriculture yields, forest conservation , more jobs, better household economy. What more do you ned?
