I have wondered for years if this was going to make it to market and prepared a little for it. I have a proposed method for calculation the performance of a pair of stoves using the fuel in a chain. </div>

The implementation is the substitution of charcoal for coke which is perfectly sound from a manufacturing point of view. A lot of the Eastern USA forests were made into charcoal for steel production. It is not everywhere this setup can work. </div>

A faint glimmer shone in Tajikistan last week when it became clear that one of the fuels available is a high energy coal with enough volatiles to light easily. In a TLUD if burns off the volatiles and goes out, basically. What is left is high energy coke. </div>

PS I will find one of the diagrams as a reminder of the energy flow concept. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Paul,
<div>Thanks. I would encourage you, or perhaps a third party less invested researcher, to produce a Sankey diagram </div>
<div> ( <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sankey_diagram">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sankey_diagram</a> ) of the Champion stove and the entire energy system around it that you have introduced into the Deganga area. It can be included as part of a life
cycle assement. It won't cover social impacts but it summarizes data at a glance</div>
<div>Crispin did this for some tested stoves. I hope he posts a link to them again.</div>

It is good to see this report. You have persevered. </p>

I do not know about the form. Some might be briquetted. But it was sold to restaurants and small industry for burning.<br>

NOT available for purchase by the households. Carbon credit agreement requires that it be used to replace traditionally made charcoal.<br>

I do not know. I will try to have more answers in the follow-up article about 2016 activities / expansions.<br>

I hope that some other locations will be interested in some similar locally-focused TLUD stove projects.<br>

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>

</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>

</p>
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>
