<div class="column"><p><span style="font-family: AdvTT5235d5a9; ">The production, use and trade of charcoal for domestic cooking and heating are characterized by contradictions,
stereotyping, and misconceptions. Partial information, over-generalizations, and the tendency to consolidate char-
coal with other biomass fuels have contributed to<b><u> gross misrepresentation</u></b> of charcoal in terms of its actual impact
on forests, its role in improving energy access, and in appropriate interventions. An underlying and often amplify-
ing challenge that results from this situation is the<b><u> lack of</u></b> reliable, consistent, and comparable data on the charcoal
sector which would form a necessary baseline for robust decision making. Further, clarifying misconceptions and
debunking of myths is paramount for demonstrating the contribution that charcoal could have in addressing
energy access and economic challenges in developing countries. We present </span><span style="font-family: 'AdvTT5235d5a9+fb'; "><b><u>fi</u></b></span><span style="font-family: AdvTT5235d5a9; "><b><u>ve commonly held myths</u></b> about
charcoal that are perpetuated by different stakeholders and actors in the sector. Namely, that: 1) Charcoal is an en-
ergy source for the poor; 2) charcoal use is decreasing; 3) charcoal causes deforestation; 4) the charcoal sector is
economically irrelevant, and; 5)<b><u> improved charcoal cook stoves reduce deforestation and GHG emissions</u></b>. Using a
review of the literature and our own experience with charcoal research and practice, we propose reasons for the
existence of these myths, why they are highly disputable, and the consequences that the myths have had on policy
and intervention responses to charcoal. Widespread beliefs of these myths have and continue to misguide policy
response and intervention approaches relating to charcoal. We propose some <b><u>policy</u></b> and research recommenda-
tions to curb further perpetuation of misconceptions that have been particularly harmful for charcoal. </span></p>

Not one citation for either Not exactly a promotion of using char for cooking, but not far from that. Basic theme was that cooking with char is here to stay. I don't know how to rebut anything here, since topics of interest to me aren't even raised climate, soils, etc/ as well as making char in stoves for use as biochar.</div><div><br></div><div>Ron </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div><div>On Aug 16, 2013, at 5:50 PM, "Ronal W.

Thanks for the cite you gave below (with a free version of a nice paper). I enjoyed this (#12 below) and your article with Rob Bailis (#14). A few questions: A year or more has passed since you wrote this. Any cogeneration started yet in Brazil? (for others, Rogerio lives where charcoal-making is big business - the largest in the world). Any recommendations on stove or biochar ideas in the other dozen papers? For instance can you conceive that there may be more cooking with electricity as users trade in (barter) biomass for electrons? (and maybe getting some char back also) You are thinking more of the char going to steel mills, but could there be competition for using the char (as biochar) in soils (given future carbon credits?)</div><div><br></div><div>2. I remember hearing about this special issue on charcoal, but this was my first chance to see the wide range (below). A lot of good material here. Unfortunately all priced at $31.50 per paper. If any other authors are reading this, I hope they can do as did Rogerio and supply an early author's draft. Obviously, both lists would benefit from anything more that can be said about any of the papers. My impression is that biochar and char-making stoves were not major considerations for most papers, but most can have some bearing on both these lists</div><div><br></div><div> Rogerio - how about giving a short summary of Paper #14 (Bailis - or a reprint).
