and fuel has always been a part of the local market and has to continue to be
that to avoid loss of income generating activities. Today about 15% of the
population in developing countries are involved in the charcoal business; and
with the high demand of clean burning stoves, the fuel-policy will go more in
direction of pellets from waste biomass as fuel, which will again demand more
advanced types of stoves. My experience is that local tinsmiths only need some
guide-lines and templates for production of good stoves; they mostly have the
tools and the skills. The end-user and a NGO can take the control. All type
combustible waste from human activities, are possible to turn into pellets for
household energy. Again that will create jobs and utilization of local
resources. </FONT></SPAN></P>

cheaper stoves but more expensive fuel, but by creating jobs the cooks will buy
the best stove, which utilize the cheapest fuel. </FONT></SPAN></P>
