Similar questions led to the conceptualization of the GIZ HERA manual on micro-gasification, to start filling the gaps. The current version on <a href="http://www.giz.de/Themen/en/dokumente/giz2011-en-micro-gasification.pdf">http://www.giz.de/Themen/en/dokumente/giz2011-en-micro-gasification.pdf</a> was published in January 2011, content is even older, so it is high time to update it. <div><br></div><div><font size="4"><b>I need the support of the stovers to provide me with input, so that this can become a useful up-to-date document for all. </b></font></div><div>Could people whose stoves are featured in the current version provide me with updates re sales figures, prices, addresses, latest developments, test results, links etc. to be included?</div><div>Could anybody whose micro-gasifier stoves (whether TLUD or other draft versions) are not yet featured but would like this featured provide me with the relevant infos and links? Preferably following the format of the current edition. </div><div>Or if you just happen to know about interesting stoves that are not yet featured, direct me to them? </div><div><br></div><div>I am happy to be the secretary for this kind of knowledge base. </div><div><br></div><div>Are there other suggestions of what should be done to make the micro- manual more user-friendly? </div><div> </div><div>Please send info to my other mailbox <a href="mailto:christa-roth@foodandfuel.info">christa-roth@foodandfuel.info</a> so I don't lose the info among all the stove list chatter. I need to have the update ready end of May. so timely feedback would be welcome. </div><div>Looking forward to feedback, </div><div>regards Christa<br><div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>Am 28.04.2013 um 22:38 schrieb Tom Miles <<a href="mailto:tmiles@trmiles.com">tmiles@trmiles.com</a>>:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; "><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Over the last three years we have seen quite an expansion of TLUD development thanks to Paul and others. It is more difficult to ascertain the extent of actual use of the various TLUD’s in areas where they are being developed or manufactured. Last year at this time Dr. Muhammad Nurhuda informed us of some impressive numbers of low cost (Kompor Biomass) TLUDs being manufactured and sold in Indonesia. I heard at ETHOS in January that a very small number of TLUD stoves and heaters developed in the Philippines and Vietnam are actually use by small businesses or households. Is this technology still in evolution? Where can we find significant deployment? What is needed to enhance the deployment of TLUD’s?<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Tom <o:p></o:p></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>Stoves mailing list<br><br>to Send a Message to the list, use the email address<br><a href="mailto:stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline; ">stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org</a><br><br>to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page<br><a href="http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline; ">http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org</a><br><br>for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site:<br><a href="http://stoves.bioenergylists.org/" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline; ">http://stoves.bioenergylists.org/</a><br><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div></div></body></html>
