  Subject: [Stoves] Major case study about TLUD stoves


  Dear all,


  Four co-authors have written an detailed article about a highly successful and on-going TLUD gasifier stove project in Deganga, an area of the Ganges Delta in India.  Please read it, share it with others, and give consideraton about how you and your projects might build upon the lessons learned.


  Case Study of Acceptance of Champion TLUD Gasifier Stoves

  in the Deganga Area, Ganges Delta, India

  [Data as of early 2016; released in September 2016]





  On the Internet at:   http://drtlud.com/deganga-tlud-project-2016
  And attached as a .pdf file.


  Summary:    

                  With field data to document earlier challenges and current success, as of early 2016 the Deganga TLUD Project in the Ganges Delta has over 11,000 Champion micro-gasifier stoves in a small rural area.  In seven villages, between 25% and 40% of households have adopted the stove.  Factors contributing to the success include funding via carbon offsets, attaining critical mass of households, adequate supplies of appropriate fuel, fuel cost savings, installment payments for the BOP (Base of the Pyramid), and stove maintenance services.  Unique to this project, and very well received by the households, is the creation of household income from the sales of charcoal byproducts produced in the stove while cooking.  Similar results should be possible in other communities in developing societies.


  *********************



  Speaking personally, I have wanted this type of result for many many years.  I thank my co-authors for making it happen.  Now we can look forward to replications and variations of this study to provide the quality of TLUD gasifier stoves wherever needed around the world.

  Paul
