<div>Thank you for this invitation. I actually could not attend the seminar but I am interested to know the detail about the alcohol. Is that the alcohol that poor people could produce it? What are ingredients to make this alcohol? I need to know if the poor community could produce this alcohol? I am concerned about how this idea help the poor people in rural area. Please let me hear from you.</div>
<div>Thanks</div>

Gaia cordially invite you to attend a seminar focused on the global<br>production and use of appropriate-scale alcohol fuel. Alcohol fuels offer an<br>abundant supply of energy for cooking, heating, refrigeration, electricity<br>
and transportation needs.<br><br>Worldwide, over three billion people lack access to modern forms of energy<br>and cook with traditional stoves that burn polluting fuels. Illnesses<br>resulting from indoor air pollution claim almost 2 million lives worldwide<br>
each year. In many parts of the world pneumonia in infants and small<br>children is the primary cause of death, and evidence links kitchen smoke to<br>chronic bronchitis in women, low birth-weight in children, active TB, and<br>
many other ailments. Clean-burning stoves and alcohol fuels can dramatically<br>change these statistics.<br><br>During the 3½ day educational seminar, participants will gain an in-depth<br>understanding of ways to:<br><br>
* Provide pollution-free energy for safe indoor cooking and other uses<br> * Stabilize domestic fuel production costs to less than 30 cents/liter<br>(USD)<br> * Curb deforestation, black carbon emissions and global warming—while<br>
earning carbon credits<br> * Integrate domestic food and energy production<br> * Identify high-value, high-yield crops for all climates to produce<br>sustainable energy and increase soil fertility<br> * Create and encourage permanent local jobs<br>
* Learn about micro distillery manufacturing investment and distribution<br>opportunities and how to couple stoves with distilleries<br><br>Registration for this unique program is limited and “invitation only”. The<br>
seminar is ideally suited to the information needs of government and NGO<br>officials, energy, agriculture, public health, economic and environmental<br>policy makers, secondary and university educators, labor leaders, motor<br>
fleet and facility supervisors, climate policy experts, infrastructure<br>investment bankers, waste water treatment managers and domestic food<br>production professionals.<br><br>Seminar Registration is $700.00 USD per participant<br>

Subject: Announcement of the IIEA-Project Gaia Appropriate Scale Alcohol<br>Fuel Production Seminar -- Global Solution for Cooking, etc.<br><br>Dear Tom,<br><br>Would you kindly put the attached announcement of the Atlanta seminar on the<br>
Bioenergy Listserv? That would be terrific if you would.<br><br>The announcement is the first attachment. The second attachment is provided<br>to show you what types of topics will be covered by David Blume of IIEA.<br>
<br>David is author of the best-selling book "Alcohol Can Be a Gas" which is a<br>great read, and also a technical storehouse of knowledge. Not only is the<br>book really fun to read, it is also the most valuable resource on small<br>
scale distillation--and maybe distillation science in general--that I have<br>ever encountered. It is a great achievement.<br><br>If you know of anywhere else we should announce this, please let us know.<br><br>David Blume and a core team of developers are raising capital for a business<br>
that will essentially mass produce small, efficient, simple but highly<br>engineered micro distilleries. These distilleries will be produced for<br>maybe half the cost or less of a large distillery, on a unit cost basis, and<br>
the economics of ethanol production from these plants, especially<br>considering the value of co-products, will be enormously good.<br><br>We hope to put these micro distilleries to use in Africa and Haiti. We are<br>being inundated with interest in the idea. A number of West Africans are<br>
already signed up for the Atlanta seminar. We would like to draw in some<br>people from Central America as well.<br><br>David and his team are raising investment capital for the plant, and are<br>putting out a private placement offer for purchase of shares in the<br>
business. They have a detailed prospectus that could go out to seriously<br>interested investors.<br><br>Would you be interested? Or do you know others who might be? If you are or<br>do, I will send you a one-page prospectus introduction and information on<br>
how to contact Blume Distillation LLC. This is not for the Listserv, but<br>just for you and people you would pass it on to one-on-one.<br><br>Best wishes,<br><br>Harry<br><br>P.S. We are looking for a briquetting and biochar expert for the Haiti<br>
project, and I was in touch with Lloyd Helferty, some time back. This would<br>have to be a group or business that would be able to come in and piggyback<br>on what we are doing, without needing to draw resources from us--e.g. a team<br>
member that could pull their own weight.<br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Stoves mailing list<br><br>to Send a Message to the list, use the email address<br>Stoves mailing list<br><br>
