[Stoves] FW: [stove] New policy paper - attached

[Ronal Larson]

Paul and list:

	Your key phrase here is:

"'This is enriching the oil companies at the expense of the poor and mis-direction of government funds."
 
	I’d be glad to contribute some analysis, but we need data.  Presumably not much change in health issues for the very poor (because of stove stacking). Is any health data being connected that could show not much change after starting gas use?  We then need to prove that the same amount of money would mean better health as income goes up with biochar-related income.  My gut feeling (like yours) is that could occur.

The government unfortunately has accepted this approach and provides substantial funding.   But  being based on fossil fuel, it can only be a temporary solution (maybe for a decade or two).

And that is possible with existing Woodgas TLUD technology.  Fossil fuels are a business-opportunity side-track.    But ultimately, the Woodgas stoves will replace most of them, especially for the poorest people who are closely tied to wood and dung and biomass fuels.
