[Stoves] Article on substituting waste cooking oil for coal as a space heating fuel

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Friends



We have had demonstrations of cooking oil as a fuel, with the Protos Stove (now deceased) as one possibility that was tried for years.  Here is a paper looking at the straight displacement of coal by waste cooking oil, based on a technology that is already on the market - an electronically controlled waste oil burning space heating stove with a novel (very small) combustion chamber.



"The potential co-benefits for health, economy and climate by substituting raw coal with waste cooking oil as a winter heating fuel in rural households of northern China"

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envres.2020.110683



Highlights

* Coal substitute with WCO for rural heating has significant environmental benefits.

* The production of WCO in China has a great supply potential for coal substitute.

* Coal-to-WCO shift reduced pollutant emission from rural households in Northern China.

* The co-benefits of decreasing mortality risk and fuel costs were also significant.

* The household-source emission of greenhouse gas was effectively controlled.



Best regards
Crispin
