Example.....corn feed stoves have allot of klinkering due to the sugar content if I understand correctly. We might be able to utilize more of these fuels than I realize at this point as I have not had enough time to test these things out. Our focus has had to stay more narrow than I would like due to the "business side" of our growth. I did for a while mess with burning Glycerine from bio diesel manufacturing. Althoe I have not dismissed this avenue I do feel it is a messy process. The glycerine heats up and "melts" much like paraffin wax and could become a fire hazard. I am interested as I am coming to a point of less business and more inventing to try alternative fuel sources......any ideas???<br>Thank you R&B <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center id=stopSpelling></span></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From: crispinpigott@gmail.com<br>To: stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org<br>Date: Sun, 7 Aug 2011 14:36:59 -0400<br>Subject: [Stoves] Jatropha and its future<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Dear Friends<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>I am not sure how many stove are being worked on as Jatropha seed or oil or cake burners, but my understanding was the main thrust was to put to use some of the leftovers from biofuel production, especially that was the focus in Tanzania.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>It seems those farmers who invested in Jatropha production lost about $65 per ha <a href="http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/es201943v" target="_blank">http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/es201943v</a> so my question is whether or not there is much point in working on (perhaps) whole seed stoves.
