[Stoves] FACIT resource is valuable about fuels

[Paul Anderson]

Stovers,

The GACC has given us a very valuable tool called FACIT.
http://cleancookstoves.org/technology-and-fuels/facit/

"The Fuel Analysis, Comparison & Integration Tool (FACIT) provides 
interactive access to data and information generated from a comparative 
analysis conducted from 2015-2016. The study evaluated relevant 
environmental impacts associated with production, distribution, and use 
of multiple fuels used in cookstoves, while also considering social and 
economic factors. FACIT allows users to visually compare impacts and 
trade-offs of different fuels used to provide energy for cooking. 
Stakeholders involved in making decisions related to optimizing the fuel 
value chain should find this tool particularly useful. *The tool should 
be used in parallel with the full report analysis and findings, which 
can viewed under the Resources tab below.* The study was conducted in 
coordination with a companion study 
<http://cleancookstoves.org/resources/496.html> completed by the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (EPA/600/R-15/325)."

I recommend that you watch the 14 minute video "Online Tutorial: Study 
Overview and Getting Starting with FACIT 
<http://cleancookstoves.org/assets-facit/FACIT-Overview-Tutorial.mp4>"   
that is accessed half way down that cited important first page with 
links to the Executive Summary, etc.

Making comparisons about many fuels and stove types and eight specific 
countries, all in relation to different major impacts (Environmental; 
Economic; and Social & Gender considerations).

There was a Webinar about FACIT a week ago, but the real thing is what 
to look at.
