Stovers,<br>
<br>
The message below from Kirk Smith's Stove List (Not StoveS, and not
a ListSERV where there is discussion) is interesting reading. <br>
<br>
He is totally correct that in America ( and probably Europe and
elsewhere) the term "Biofuels" does NOT include dry biomass. <br>
<br>
American politicians refer to "renewable energy" as solar, wind and
biofuels. They NEVER mention wood and other dry biomass for
renewable energy. But so much of our energy needs is for thermal
energy, even water heating at below boiling point.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Nearly 3
decades after publication of the first and still, I believe,
only book laying out the major issues around what we now
call household air pollution, it is available for free
download in pdf – see below and on my website. It began to
address most all of the issues we still struggle with
except, perhaps, the climate angle, which I am coming to
think in any case is a bit of a red herring even though we
also introduced the concept of what is now called
“co-benefits” and made the first measurements related to
cookfuel/stoves in the early 1990s. Unfortunately,
however, unthinking application of climate concerns now
operates as a deterrent in some quarters to embracing truly
clean cookfuel alternatives that have so much benefit to
offer the very poorest populations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Note, I have
long stopped using the term “biofuels” to mean biomass
fuels, since biofuels now have come to mean liquid and
gaseous fuels made from biomass in most of the world’s
literature and media. Continued use of “biofuel” by some in
our community now serves to confuse things I am afraid:
biomass fuel is a perfectly reasonable term and nicely
parallel to fossil fuel, but most importantly we cannot
fight the now widely accepted use of the term “biofuel”,
which describes fuels with entirely different
characteristics/k<o:p></o:p></span></p>
