[Stoves] Alternative to charcoal

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Ron

 

We are back to repeating old arguments.

 

>…directly contradicted this sentence just in from Crispin  

       "The transport of charcoal (MJ per ton-mile) is much cheaper than transporting wood and this difference dominates the charcoal economy"
 
A ton of damp wood and a ton of dry charcoal do not have the same energy content. That is why people transport charcoal 600 km to Maputo and to Dakar, not wood.

 

Regards

Crispin
