[Stoves] Second article on clean cooking forum

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Anil

I see this in the Sunday Guardian:
http://www.sundayguardianlive.com/news/11517-lanstoves-rural-restaurants-will-reduce-pollution-village-households

The discussion is quite detailed. It seems to be a diesel stove, is that correct?
Thanks

Crispin



“An excellent technology for liquid fuel cooking is a lanstove developed in Phaltan, Maharashtra. It runs on diesel, which is available even in the smallest village. It produces excellent light (equivalent to a 100-200 W incandescent bulb) via a thermoluminscent mantle and the heat from the mantle cooks a complete meal for a family of five. It does not produce any smoke, smell, or particulates and since both heat and light are produced simultaneously, it is five times more efficient than electric cooking and lighting. The diesel can be subsidised for the rural poor through the Aadhar card.

Whenever we talk of kerosene or diesel, the first reaction is that they are dirty fuels. But let me remind you that all fuels are dirty—it is their combustion which makes them clean. Thus the focus should be on developing excellent combustion technologies for liquid fuels.



“There is a need fund R&D so that agricultural residue can be converted into liquid fuels. India produces close to 600-800 million tonnes of agricultural residue per year. Most of it is burned after the harvest, resulting in air pollution in both cities and towns. Use of this residue to produce liquid fuels can drastically reduce our petroleum import bill.”
