<p dir="ltr">Paul,<br>
It is good to see this report. You have persevered. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The charcoal was purchased back for 12 cents/kg. What happened to it next? Was it used in the form it was produced? If these homes wanted to buy charcoal what would it cost? Did this new supply have any change the local market price?<br>
Congratulations.<br>
Alex</p>

Four co-authors have written an detailed article about a highly
successful and on-going TLUD gasifier stove project in Deganga, an
area of the Ganges Delta in India. Please read it, share it with
others, and give consideraton about how you and your projects
might build upon the lessons learned.<br>

<p class="m_5218508618262865876MsoNoSpacing"><span>
</span>With field data to document earlier challenges and
current success, as of early 2016 the Deganga TLUD Project in
the Ganges Delta has over 11,000 Champion micro-gasifier stoves
in a small rural area.<span> </span>In
seven villages, between 25% and 40% of households have adopted
the stove.<span> </span>Factors
contributing to the success include funding via carbon offsets,
attaining critical mass of households, adequate supplies of
appropriate fuel, fuel cost savings, installment payments for
the BOP (Base of the Pyramid), and stove maintenance services.<span> </span>Unique to this project, and
very well received by the households, is the creation of
household income from the sales of charcoal byproducts produced
in the stove while cooking.<span> </span>Similar
results should be possible in other communities in developing
societies.<br>

Speaking personally, I have wanted this type of result for
many many years. I thank my co-authors for making it happen. Now
we can look forward to replications and variations of this study
to provide the quality of TLUD gasifier stoves wherever needed
around the world.<br>
