[Stoves] Need a "paper" for Boiling Point about char-making stoves

[Philip Lloyd]

Dear Paul

You could do worse than asking if you could reprint an article from a rather
unlikely source - the Journal of the South African Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy. In the January 2016 edition, pp55-63, there is a paper "An
algorithm for determining kinetic parameters for the dissociation of complex
solid fuels" by Mavhengere, Vittee, Wagner and Kauchali. For those
interested in gasification and pyrolysis, it is eye-opening.

Subject: [Stoves] Need a "paper" for Boiling Point about char-making stoves

Dear Stovers and Biocharists,     (With copies to Boiling Point info and 
to guest editors at Notingham Univ.)

A forthcoming issues of "Boiling Point" should have an article about how
char-making capabilities of some cookstoves (most clearly the TLUD
micro-gasifiers, and maybe a few others) could be important as "enablers"
for cookstove adoption and financing.

Here is the call, as found in Hedon Newsletter for March 2016:
http://us9.campaign-archive2.com/?u=d7576a5bf72f0cb32babac35a&id=d6568e7e95&
e=6a74edac67
> Call for Papers: BP69 'Enablers to Cookstoves'
>
> In partnership with Guest Editors - the University of Nottingham's 
> Barriers Project - BP69 will look beyond the Barriers to Cookstoves
> (BP64) and towards the enablers to cookstoves. We're accepting 
> articles for this issue until 30 June 2016. Please email bp at hedon.info 
> for submission guidelines and enquiries.
This article should touch upon how char-making can be a positive feature in
cookstoves.

Working title:   Char-making Stoves Enable Stove Adoption     (can be 
changed, please.)
Topics include:
Carbon-negative operation ( climate-change impact) Ability to obtain carbon
credits (example is the Champion stove by Servals with Atmosfair
participation).
Soil enhancement (Biochar and increased food production)
Ability to use many "biomass refuse" types   (less need to cut down 
living trees)
Reduction of black carbon emissions (appeal to the educated societies and
countries that should want the impoverished people to have such stoves so
much at those with money should cover much of the cost of the
stoves)
etc
etc.
Note that this has NOT focused on the supposed "enablers of adoption" 
such as clean combustion/low emissions/better health aspects of cookstoves,
of which the TLUDs / char-maker stoves are among the leading 
contenders.   Should that be a separate article? The Guest Editors could 
give us some guidance.

Either someONE needs to step up and want to write this paper, OR we need to
have a MULTI-AUTHOR prime quality article.

Remember, Boiling Point is now an peer-reviewed journal, so this article can
really count for those who need academic "credit".

NOTE:   I, Paul Anderson, will NOT be a sole author.   I would 
participate in a joint effort, but we need one or more lead authors.

DO NOT BE SHY!!!   If interested in WORKING on such a paper (or 
contrubutng some key segment), please make yourself known.   Perhaps a 
"working group" will be identified.

Paul
