[Stoves] Pellet fuel for stoves in Africa

[Ronal Larson]

Paul:

	Several questions:

		1.  What is the source of the pellet data figure?

		2.  The dominant figure  feature is the growth in China - approximately doubling every two years (annual growth rate around 35%).   Is there any data to show that many of the pellets are heading for char-making stoves (which might be a growing industry?).  I think there is pellet use for electrical generation in China.

		3.  The Chinese interest in pellets and biochar might be related to air quality - trying to eliminate historic burning of crop residue in the fields.   I read of concerns about African fields also intentionally fired every year;  can that concern be a factor in Africa in favor of pellets?  (I am suggesting trying to emulate China.)
