[Stoves] The Aaron stove, fuelled with pelletized agricultural residues

[CHRISTA ROTH]

Roberto, you find more details on the stove on page 119 in the  GIZ-HERA manual microgasification https://energypedia.info/wiki/File:Micro_Gasification_2.0_Cooking_with_gas_from_dry_biomass.pdf   
and of course many more other stoves/devices/principles dealing with micro-gasification. please note that only those 'stoves', of which I had received feedback from the responsible people that last year around this time of the year and which had a dissemination exceeding 100 units in the field were included in the catalogue. 
Other concepts like the ones of Kirk Harris will  be featured in the next update, hopefully in 2015.

What I especially appreciate about the Aaron stove concept is that it allows to tackle the height issue, where local users insist on a maximum height: as it has no air inlets from the outside on the bottom part of the stove, you can bury it into the ground until the acceptable  height above ground so that the users can prepare the local dishes which e.g. require heavy stirring and thus a lower working height.

Merry Christmas, festive season and good year 2015

> Because of the unsustainable use of woodfuel for cooking purposes, the Sahel region is undergoing a dramatic deforestation process.To stop this, and to begin reforestation, first of all a different solution to cooking needs has to be found. In this video it is shown how the Aaron biomass gasification stove has been set up in Niger, and how a pellet production from agricultural residues and pruning has been introduced at the same time, to fuel it.
> This work has been performed in the framework of a cooperation project funded by the European Commission, under the Energy Facility program. Head of the project "Energies durables dans les régions d'Agadez et de Tillabéry" is the Italian NGO Terresolidali. The head worked together with the partners University of Turin, DIST department (Italy), RESEDA, Réseau pour le Développement de l'Artisanat (Niger), and AcSSA, Action pour la Sécurité et la Souveraineté Alimentaires (Niger). The Aaron stove has been developed starting from a previous model designed by the Brace Research Institute of Montréal (Canada).
