Ranyee,
Thanks for that very open and affirmative reply. The "and" makes a
great difference.
Could you or others at GACC give some outline of what might be
"different types of tailored support" that could reach those who are
active in DEcentalized approaches to production.
Note from me: It is possible that funding for decentralized approaches
might favor those decentralized approaches that can somehow work
together or be mutually beneficial.
I would like to suggest that some funding might be made available that
collectively assists cooperating (but not identical) decentralized
efforts to produce (and disseminate) the_micro-gasifier stoves _that can
perform at acceptable levels on the several criteria for stove approvals
(the Tier system). Those interested in this (including discussing what
constitutes sufficiently "decentralized" efforts) should gather at some
session.
Or ALSO we organize ourselves to meet at some hours to discuss this.
SO, I propose that those interested could gather RATHER INFORMALLY (but
with purpose) promptly after the Friday evening social/informational
gathering. Usually ends about 9 or 9:30 PM so we could get a little
start on this topic.
I will be there for that initial meeting about support for decentralized
production of TLUD or other micro-gasifier stoves.
Here on the Listservs we can discuss this. Such as stoves that have
sophisticated parts (like forced air) are not included in the
"decentralized" group. (this can be discussed) .
Anyone interested in joining me, please make yourself known.
Because Paal Wendelbo has already told us that he will not be attending
ETHOS, he is encouraged to participate via email, and have his stove
efforts included in the candidates and examples of decentralized
cookstove efforts. Others in that situation? Or who want to be
producing some design in a decentralized manner?

A good way to frame this discussion may be to think about ways that the different types of efforts can be integrated together, or how they can learn from each other. Certainly from the Global Alliance's point of view, both types of efforts are important and require different types of tailored support. It would be useful to hear some discussion about the specifics of the tailored support that is needed in each case. And overall, I think that a discussion focused "and" not "versus" would be quite interesting.

That centralized model is certainly a cornerstone of the GACC and WB and many who feel that the model of the affluent world will work to resolve major issues in the developing world. And they control access to most of the funding. And they present very convincing arguments. (If they could not, they would not be in control of the situation.)

Taken into consideration the high demands of clean combustion, pellets will be the future biomass fuel for simple clean burning such as TLUD ND and FD. Energy forestry and agriculture energy production together collection of waste biomass of different types will give a lot of new needed jobs.
