[Stoves] A "fuels" panel discussion at ETHOS

[Cookswell Jikos]

Dear Art - thank you for your email.

Let me see how Christmas sales pan out and perhaps I will be able to join
you guys at ETHOS - it sounds fantastic!

To be a bit more clear on what I am working on please see the following

and this recent case study -
http://africanclimate.net/en/cases/cookswell-jikos

We have very many customers in Kenya using this ''seed-to-ash'' system of
sustainable domestic biomass energy primarily because I think it is so
straight forward and does require very much behavior change from the user
and at the end of the day, it can even make one a bit of money.

We decided on acacia spp. tree seeds to be disseminated for free with each
of our products because they grow extremely well in most parts of East
Africa, they are already a prime choice for charcoal feedstock, they
coppice readily and are nitrogen fixing. They also can produce poles,
timber, tool handles etc.
We also try to advise people who do not have land to grow them on to give
them to their local clinic/school or plant them on the road reserves.

Thanks again and happy cooking everyone!

Teddy
