[Stoves] plant physiology

[Paal Wendelbo]

Dear stovers.

With the contribution of Michael M. and Lloyd H. the discussion is on the right path. Stove projects start with the fuel. Fuel, stove and the economy of households has to be seen as on unit. And that’s what those going to ETHOS has to tell GACC as advisors. What we need is cheap pellets from all human activities waste, straw and grass produced, by small decentralized pellets machinery. Pellets used in TLUD’s which will give clean cooking, 20% biochar back to soil and create growth. That will create new needed jobs and make it possible for low income household to cook their food on simple tin TLUD’s produced by an awl and a hammer.

A decentralized system which can be a recipient for collected waste for pellets production and biochar for further distribution. A low cost system could be bartering waste and biochar with pellets for cooking.  

With pellets from local waste as fuel it will be easier to cover the demands for low emission stoves, save the forest and improve the environment. It will make a lot of low income people to energy producers and avoid subsidizing on fuel and stoves.

 Best regards Paal W
