[Stoves] August Stove Camp Fwd: [biochar] Emissions and Char Quality of Flame-Curtain "Kon Tiki" Kilns for Farmer-Scale Charcoal/Biochar Production

Tue May 24 12:26:19 CDT 2016

Thanks for the information on the Biochar initiative.
In some areas the Biochar and the Stove initiative dovetail, this List
Server is great for stove information and support but I did not really find
a similar site for BioChar.
There is a separate "gasification" list server which seems to partially
cover the topic.

http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/gasification_lists.bioenergylists.org
If there is a better resource please point me at it.

For stoves it is an important decision in design to evaluate the "value"
 of any Biochar production and whether char production should be maximized
or valued.
The more I read on the topic of Biochar the more I believe that producing
huge volumes of Biochar and burying it in the belief it is good for the
environment is a misguided monoculture approach to the topic and I would
like to engage more in understanding.
I wish i had time in August to join both Stove and Char in Oregon but the
timing does not look good at the moment.

Thanks to all Stovers for the motivating discussions and support that this
list server brings.
