[Stoves] WB report from 2009 on Mongolian Heating and Cooking Stoves

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Friends

 

Paul in particular was looking for documentation on the Mongolian stove
programme. Here is one document that is quite early - 2009. It contains a
little testing before we even had a lab.

 

The main purpose of that slide was to show people that a 'fuel' cannot
inherently be 'clean' or 'dirty' - it depends on how you burn it. At the
time it was a particularly unwelcomed view, that changing the stove could
change the emissions from a fuel. The popular view was that coal was 'dirty'
and semi-coked coal was 'improved'. There are four contributing factors to
how well a stove handles a fuel. By tuning the stove to the fuel, the
emissions basically vanished. For the best stoves, emissions are pretty much
limited to the ignition phase. 

 

This situation analysis document is a glimpse into the past, 6 years ago,
when we had little going for this radical idea: cleaning up a whole city's
air without change the fuel. It had not been done before and many said out
loud it could not be done, only limited slightly.
