[Stoves] TLUDs and China Re: Why is it still so difficult to design cookstoves for 3 billion people?

[Paul Anderson]

Dear Mangolazi,

THANK YOU for that info.  The language barrier prevents much of this 
info from being accessed.   I encourage you to use your Chinese language 
abilities and your connections to bring more of this information to the 
Stoves readers.   Maybe you could recruit some Chinese students to 
gather and present information in English about stoves (especially the 
gasifiers) in China.

Is there a market for biomass stoves in large developing countries like India and China were electricity and LPG are becoming cooking fuels of choice? I don't know, it would be nice to find out from academics and policy makers in those countries.
