[Stoves] Stove info: Useful GIZ-HERA document

[CHRISTA ROTH]

Paul, thanks for raising awareness about the cooking energy compendium, which was overhauled completely in a really big effort in 2011. I did present it at ETHOS last year as well containing highlighted slides from the compendium. the presentation can still be found in the ETHOS proceedings from 2012 http://www.vrac.iastate.edu/ethos/proceedings2012.html on Saturday morning 'GIZ cooking energy novelties'.

The entire section on 'Technologies and Practices' got restructured, following the advice I learnt from Paal Wendelbo that' you have to start with the fuel' (thanks Paal for that major insight!). 

You get to the chapter via this link https://energypedia.info/wiki/Improved_Cookstoves_–_What_is_it_all_about%3F
On the bottom of the page you find the overview chart of the section, as shown in this screenshot:



There is a lot about TLUDs in the section Cooking with gas from Biomass. this link takes you to there
https://energypedia.info/wiki/Cooking_with_Gas_from_Biomass#Cooking_with_Woodgas

again at the bottom of the section on wood gas you find the link embedded in 
Further Information

With the aim to expand knowledge and experience about gasifier cookstoves, GIZ HERA published a manual on gasifier applications and appropriate feedstocks in 2011. It gives an introduction to the concept and applications of wood-gas burning technologies for cooking. It also provides comprehensive information and external links.
The manual is structured in 3 Modules:
Wood-gas from biomass and its application for cooking
Technologies and applications of micro-gasification to cookstoves
Feedstocks and fuels for micro-gasification.

-> For access to the manual, please see:'Micro-gasification: Cooking with gas from dry biomass GIZ (2011), Eschborn


sorry for the late reaction, was traveling. will ask to send a link to the most recent leaflet that was printed just before the GACC forum. 
regards Christa

But it is a    wiki    and we all can make contributions (but we have time constraints, and there are so many places that would also take in the wiki content.   I am working full time on TLUD stoves and I cannot keep up even with placing items to my own website at    www.drtlud.com   )

That brochure gives a great summary of the    energypedia     efforts.   Maybe GIZ HERA can place a digital copy of the brochure to the Stoves Website to again call this fine resource to the attention of all Stovers.
