Elisa and ccs:

	 Thanks for the reply.

	I have visited the Harvest Fuel site  (http://www.harvestfuel.org/) and found a lot of good material there.  I saw a lot that showed non-sustainabiilty of char use.   

	My plea is that the 5 March webinar get a little into how bad the present, mostly illegal, practices are - and especially how the presenters are making the char (not only the briquettes).  At what efficiency.  I presume we will hear about CO.

> Greetings from the Nairobi ISO meetings!  You may remember that the entire Winrock/EPA team (John, Elisa, Katie, Michael) was at ETHOS just last month requesting suggestions for future webinars. That said, it's never too late to make such suggestions, and we'd of course be delighted to host a webinar on biochar, as suggested in this thread-- those interested need only contact us, as always, to volunteer for the work involved and plan first steps (moderator at cookstovesandindoorair.org).  And I'm quite pleased to see that many of you are planning to attend the "Charcoal Briquette Enterprise Development" webinar on Wednesday, March 5th to hear lessons learned from the Harvest Fuel Initiative's business- and technology-driven partnership approach for scaling up carbonized briquettes as quality, sustainable, and viable alternatives to charcoal in East Africa. Of course no one webinar intends to be all things to all people, but this will be an interesting and enjoyable webinar for one and all stovelisters. We look forward to "seeing" you on March 5th (register here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6618910821998340610), and to those of you up for it, planning the biochar webinar together!
