Dear Nikhil

I saw a photo taken by Ulan the Engineer that shows a working traditional stove with an electric hot plate sitting on it. The reason for this is that the stove was unable to boil water. When they wanted to make tea etc they would use the hotplate.

In China there is a LOT of cooking and heating done with biomass. There is an organisation called CAREI which is an industry organisation that produces the biomass stove standard.

Fuels include agricultural residues, a lot of it, wood, pellets, briquettes and torrefied biomass. The current plan is to produce 150m tons of pellets per year. That has proven to be a major technical challenge on the equipment side.

Regards
Crispin


Crispin, List:

Below a picture from today's WSJ.

How much of urban China's cooking and heating is taken up by electricity already?

I start with 20%, and some 70% of the increment 1990-2015.

And by clean coal? 0.000025% of the increment? Clean biomass a hundredth of that?

Electricity also keeps the beer cold.
