Get the free download of the GIZ-HERA manual on microgasification for cooking purposes at https://energypedia.info/wiki/File:Micro_Gasification_Cooking_with_gas_from_biomass.pdf
An updated version should be online in about 3 weeks. I will publish the link on this list once it is done.

Btw, is there anywhere an inventory/systematic review on currently operating community-scale charcoal production units? Where technology, performance, cost, etc. could be easily compared? I am already aware of a few of them in Africa and Asia, and plan to visit a few during my trip to India, but any wider study/list would be very helpful.

There has been considerable discussion there of housewives making money from selling char.  As well as groups beginning to market those stoves.
