List:   (This can be considered a continuation of Tom Miles and my reporting from the ETHOS meeting.)  cc Elisa Derby

	1.  Re the announcement below.   All seven of these DoE-sponsored speakers presented at ETHOS.  I recommend registering for these events that are about two weeks off.  Some good stove work is to be reported.
	The link below doesn’t work - but it sends one to:

	2.  I am cc'ing Elisa Derby in hopes that she can get the (probably quite similar) 2016 presentations of this following group up on the ETHOS website, before this event.

	3.  In case Elisa can’t do that yet, here are somewhat similar PPts that were given a year earlier by the same seven groups.

On 22nd

	4.  Thanks to Winrock and DoE’s Dr.  Elliott Levine for ensuring that this DoE work gets wide visibility.  Let’s hope that more federal funds can be made available soon for stove research.  

Anyone know of any similar upcoming stove event?

> As part of the U.S. Government support for the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, the U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE) <http://energy.gov/> awarded $10 million in grants for research aimed at addressing technical barriers to the development of low emission, high efficiency cookstoves through activities in areas such as combustion, heat transfer and materials development.  Each project falls into at least one of the following four categories: developing low cost, durable stoves that achieve stringent efficiency and emissions goals; understanding the engineering science for advanced stoves; identifying stove designs to meet local cooking needs, and; identifying the nuances of successful stove dissemination and field performance.

> The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and Winrock International have been engaged in the household energy field for many years, including through coordination of the Partnership for Clean Indoor Air (PCIA) and its 590 Partners working in 117 countries from 2002-2012. Since the integration of PCIA and the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves in 2012, Winrock and the U.S. EPA have continued working to increase the exchange of technical information among public and private organizations working in the global household energy and health sectors through local capacity building, targeted technical assistance and field studies and global knowledge sharing. The goal of these activities is to promote effective approaches that lead to increased use of clean, reliable, affordable, efficient, and safe home cooking and heating practices.
