A specific stove uses the different biomasses tested and the results as to time, fuel used, PM2.5 etc reported. The biomasses that produced acceptable combustion that completes a task people are happy with is listed. We use this method to determine the tests within the package that are important in determining the best fuels to use and the range they must fall into.

I am thinking the vertical column from Alcoholic drinks > to > Sugars we replace with the packages of tests we are doing on the biomass. Like Fixed Carbon, Bulk carbon density, resins, length to width ratio, average length,…… 

Across the top replace England > to > Wales with the fuel used like Fuel A, Fuel B, Fuel …  This using the same stove but different fuels that work. 

The results all need to be in the same units so I suggest establishing a typical range for each test. Resins could go from zero to 10%, Length to width from 1:1 (cube) to 1:50 (long stick). The results found on Fuel A would be reported as a percentage of the typical. If found 2% resin then the reported value is 20 (for 20%). Some might go above 100% but that is ok.

It seems they have a 3 dimension but I don’t see the third values. They have foods vs country so what is the third? 

The purpose is to determine the tests used that make a difference and knowing what they measure and range that produce the best results we can pretest fuels and determine if they will work OR find the stoves that are best for using them.
