[Stoves] LPG import in India

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

I don't think it's that difficult.

The highest I have heard of is 45% which much be very high in volatiles. 35% yield with 15% volatiles is 30% carbon which is a 40% carbon loss.

That's not so difficult, is it?

I suggest arguing for delivered energy for the task, worked backwards to a % of mass yield based on the efficiency and 29.5 MJ/kg.

What wood  can yield 35% of its dry weight as charcoal with a
calorific value of 29.5MJ/kg?

As far as I know you need a pyrolysis temperature of over 450C to get
the char with that calorific value and that decreases yield below 35%.
