[Stoves] Servals TLUD-ND gets Gold Standard registration - Major news item!!

[Paul Anderson]

Dear Stovers and Biochar enthusiasts,

I am forwarding to you the major news about the Servals Champion TLUD-ND 
attaining Gold Standard registration!!   I have added a few comments 
into Sujatha's and Robert's messages to me (below).

Note that the second message below (from Robert of Atmosfair in Germany) 
has a link where you can access substantial documentation about the 
stove project.

For the advancement of TLUD gasifier stoves and for the collection of 
charcoal that they can produce, the accomplishments of Servals and 
Atmosfair are extremely important.

Note:  Wendelbo had 5000 in Uganda in the 1990s, and BP had many more 
that were with Forced Air (FA).  And I do not have the latest numbers of 
units by M. Nurhuda in Indonesia.  But by all accounts, the 
Servals/Atmosfair dissemination numbers are impressive.

Note:  Even if someone wanted to challenge this statement, please note 
that the Sunderbans project is conduct in the mangrove communities of 
the Ganges delta!   This is a MAJOR accomplishment!!!!

Note:  We are excited by this reversal of the usual comment that the 
field (implementation) results are lower than the lab results!!!   I 
request that Sujatha (Director of Servals) and her staff provide us with 
some numbers (or reports) that supported this accomplishment.

Note:   At this address there are several links to reports (.docx and 
.pdf) that have location map and photos of stoves in the community.

Note:   I (Dr TLUD) commented already about the above 3 statements.   I 
want to be sure that all parties get their appropriate recognition.

But I also what to emphasize that the rigorous evaluations and 
monitoring of a TLUD gasifier stove project to attain the Gold Standard 
registration have never been accomplished before.   Servals and 
Atmosfair and the communities involved in the project all deserve great 
recognition.   CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!
