<DIV>Dear Ann</DIV>
<DIV>If you have sufficient dung, why not construct Biogas Plants? IAP can be eradicated with such clean cooking fuel.</DIV>
<DIV>Regards</DIV>

One of our projects is improved stoves, and we are seeking to improve our model. I have corresponded with Nancy Sanford Hughes and she suggested that I contact you: the Stove Team International's Ecocina burns wood, and our communities are above the tree line and wood/charcoal are not realistic fuel options. Families in our communities depend on cow dung for fuel. The families like to cook indoors for the most part (traditionally in small unventilated kitchens separate from other living areas). To date we have been working with an adobe model (families make their own adobes) with a stovepipe. A problem that we have encountered in corrosion of the stovepipes, sometimes within a year of installation.</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"> <?xml:namespace prefix = o /><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

I am wondering if you would be able to direct us to a tested model of a household-level "improved stove" that burns dung and has been shown to have a significant positive effect in improvement of the indoor air quality. The stove must function at 13,000-14,000 feet altitude and survive an annual season of heavy rain as well as lengthy dry season. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
