[Stoves] Headline story in Huffington Post (India)

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Thanks Anil for making the point that a fuel is not inherently anything, dirty or clean, on its own.

It is interesting that in the West, fuels are often talked about as ‘clean or dirty” while in the East they are clear it is the combustion that is the proof. Perhaps in India they are ‘in between’ – partly confused, partly not.

If everyone already has kerosene or diesel available, and it is already subsidised, then what ne needed are more of the clean burning products, whether for light or heat, like Sujatha’s very clean burning kerosene ‘head’ or the kerosene stoves that one finds in South Africa and Japan.

Perhaps we should look at a few new products to produce in India using liquid fuels,. In principle a kerosene stove can be modified easily to become an ethanol stove.

Is jatropha oil produced in any meaningful quantity? Maybe Dr AD can answer that.

Thanks
Crispin
