<div>Hey, very cool!</div><div><br></div><div>Last week, I lent a cooking gasifier to a girl from Stanford that's going to follow-up the UC Boulder research in a village north of my base in Ho Chi Minh City.</div><div>
<br></div><div>If you're interested in this area, let one of us know (I copied her on the email). The project is 10 weeks, seems like such a great application area.</div><br clear="all">Marc Paré<br>B.S. Mechanical Engineering<br>

FYI - at Univ. of Colorado-Boulder (USA) we have a consortium of scientists and engineers studying "activated-carbon-type" applications of biochar (e.g. generated from cookstoves, gasifiers, kilns, etc.). <div><br>
</div><div>We focus primarily on water quality and water treatment applications - e.g. decentralized household and community water treatment systems, in-situ permeable barriers for groundwater remediation, storm water runoff, etc. We look mainly at sorption of synthetic organic compounds (e.g. pesticides, pharmaceuticals, fuel compounds, etc.), and to a lesser extent metals and inorganics (e.g. Hg is well sorbed as you indicate below....). <div>
