[Stoves] Energy supply and use in a rural West African village

[Bryden, Kenneth [M E]]

Yes (and I think it is closer to 290 tons) - if you look at Figure 1 you'll see that this is low for Africa (although not the lowest) based on more approximately 40 other reports and in the band for reported values for Mali. Given that Mali is one of the poorest countries in Africa this would be expected. We have second paper currently in review that provides much more detail on the stoves use and on the fuels used.

Thanks for the great work in Mali – difficult place to do long studies. Is it true that (by my calculation) the village is using about 250 tons of wood per annum? Does that jive?

Thanks
