Thanks both to both Phil and Crispin. I do think production of kerosene type
fuel from agricultural residues will go a long way in creating a renewable
and clean energy source for rural areas. This is worth a shot for Gates
foundation.

There is a 150 years of R&D in kerosene combustion technologies and it could
be utilized for rural households.

Cheers. Anil
