Initiatives to formulate alternative energy policies based on recognition, formalisation and modernisation of the sector are <u>not appreciated</u> by decision-makers in government, whose vision of economic growth and poverty reduction is usually based on fossil fuels and electricity. The authors argue that as long as the significant contribution and future potential of biomass energy to generate employment, support urban–rural revenue flow, strengthen domestic energy security and drive <u>green economic development remain unrecognised</u>, African governments will continue to <u>endorse ‘anything-but-biomass’</u> policies. In this context, the development of new sector strategies that give biomass a higher profile faces a significant political challenge and <u>may ultimately prove futile</u>.</p><p id="sp0010" style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0px 9px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-spacing: -0.15ex; text-align: justify; color: rgb(46, 46, 46); font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS', 'Arial Unicode', Arial, 'URW Gothic L', Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); position: static; z-index: auto; ">To bring about change it is argued that first, a <u>new image</u> of biomass energy must be articulated, which offers a compelling and achievable vision of modernisation in production, processing, distribution and consumption. This requires an integrated set of measures to <u>communicate</u> the message of change, promote enabling framework conditions, expand sustainable biomass supplies, strengthen regional economies and value-addition, and capitalise on recent technological advancement. Second, <u>valorisation</u> of forest resources is essential to stimulate sustainable production, conversion and consumption, and can be achieved through interventions in governance, taxation, regulation and technology. Third, the modernisation process should capitalise on momentous technological advances in <u>stoves</u>, kilns, processing systems and means of <u>salvaging waste energy </u>for productive use. Fourth, replication and scale-up of the modernisation movement can be <u>leveraged</u> using new and innovative funding sources.</p></div><div><br></div><div><b>[RWL added: I enjoyed this one.

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>

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).
