Thank you James.<br>
<br>
I noted in the presentation (which is from more than 2 years ago --
Aug 2013) that:<br>
<img src="cid:part1.06030307.01020003@sympatico.ca" alt=""><br>
with a specific note in the text that, "there is a need for a
testing protocol for batch-fueled stoves" (as expressed in a
Resolution in the IWA), and I also noted at the end of the
presentation that EPA may assist with the development of "a
procedure for testing batch-fueled stoves" via EPA "participation in
the ISO process to develop standards and test protocols for stoves"
with "experts from many countries", and that, "the timeline is
likely to be <b>three years</b>" (beginning Nov 2013).<br>
<br>
So at this point in time I guess that I should assume that there is
still no "standard protocol" (stove testing methodology) for stoves
that produce biochar, and that we might expect something to be <b>published
by the ISO</b> by around the <b>end of 2016</b>?<br>
<br>
... Because right now it's still a bit confusing.**<br>
<br>
** Ref: Response from Ronal Larson this morning which concluded:<br>
<br>
Comments appreciated when we are striving to make char in a stove:
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Q1:
are the losses 22%, 40%, or 67%?</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>
Q2: Is the efficiency 78%, 60%, or 33%?</div>
<br>
... With a "muddying" of the waters even further when Frank Shields
suggested that we "place an importance on each (percentage of
importance) for the span of a year or season" of either making char
or boiling water.<br>
<br>
Creating an "importance" factor is a very <i>subjective</i> thing
to do, however. ;-)<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, Ron.<br>
<br>
I know nothing about the Jetter/EPA total efficiency
calculation(s) that "use the char’s energy value".<br>
Could you elaborate?<br>
Is the Jetter/EPA total efficiency calculation your
preferred methodology as a <i>
next step</i> to the "WBT"?<br>
<br>
(Yes, I am quite out of touch with the latest in "Stove
testing" methodologies. What "efficiency" methodology does the
GACC currently endorse when testing stoves that produce
biochar? Is it still an open question?)<br>

review intended to collect and
collate the information
related to cookstove testing
methodologies applied in lab
and field conditions and their
output in the form of energy
and emission parameters. The
important information related
to progression of cookstove
testing techniques was
segregated in order to
understand the relationships
in different indicators of
cookstove performance and to
understand the sources of
uncertainty in emission data.
The major research issue that
has been dwelt upon in the
recent literature is the
establishment of relationship
between lab and field results
of cookstove performance. It
is observed that controlled
cooking test and kitchen
performance test are the two
field based tests which
provide a better picture of a
particular cookstove
performance as it involves the
user perspective.
Misrepresentation of actual
cookstove performance based on
laboratory based testing puts
the present standard protocols
in question. Solutions have
been put forward by some
research studies; however a
validation is needed through
multiple scientific
investigations conducted at
various temporal and spatial
scales. It has been observed
that cookstove testing
methodologies are still in
their nascent stage compared
to the research that has
already been conducted for
other sources where biomass
combustion emissions have
studied thoroughly. Still the
shift in focus of upcoming
research studies towards field
based integrated cookstove
testing methodologies has the
potential to drive future
cookstove research in the new
direction.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
