Prakash,

  Do you know Ranju Pandey of PEEDA, the "People, Energy and Environment
Development Association"  in Kathmandu?
It looks like Ranju is using the non edible oil from Jatropha plants for
bio-oil (for runing the Hospital Generator) and is also looking at using the
used seed cake to make briquettes for use as fuel for cooking...
  Your projects likely have a very close synergy with his~.

 If Ranju has figured out a way to make (small) briquettes [or pellets?]
from the Jatropha seed cake, then they can probably be used a "fuel" for the
Boichar-making TLUD stoves that you would like to introduce to the rural
farmers.

  I am thinking that perhaps there is way to make cheap briquettes using a
technique that is being used in Bangladesh.
I met a gentleman online recently who makes and Sells rice husk briquettes
in Bangaldesh, and I was thinking that perhaps his system [which I would
expect would be rather inexpensive] could be adapted to Jatropha seed cake
in Nepal. [?]
  (His system produces "extruded" briquettes about 5cm across, so I'm not
certain that they would be useful... but if the briquettes are broken up
into smaller pieces, then perhaps...)

  I have included a couple of photos of his extruded rice husk pellets [2]
and pellet machine [3].

Hi to all,

I am at the moment based in Bhairahawa working as a stove design
engineer for EWB Australia along with a local NGO NAMUNA. We are
working on designing a clean dung based cooking stove for the local
community here. The community here are entirely dependent on dung as a
fuel for cooking purpose. I have been working with "washing" the dung
before using as a fuel to remove the toxic gases in the fuel. After
the process of "washing" briquetting the dung is the next step. I
would certainly be meeting up with Mr. Sanu Kaji Shrestha in Kathmandu
during the first week of March. I am certain that his valuable
expertise will benefit me immensely. It would also be great to keep in
touch with Ranju Pandey. Does anyone know when the conference in Peru
concludes and Mr Sanu Kaji is back in ktm...

Best Regards,
Sarbagya Tuladhar
