Stovers,<br>
<br>
The GACC has given us a very valuable tool called FACIT. <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cleancookstoves.org/technology-and-fuels/facit/">http://cleancookstoves.org/technology-and-fuels/facit/</a><br>
<br>
"The Fuel Analysis, Comparison & Integration Tool (FACIT)
provides interactive access to data and information generated from a
comparative analysis conducted from 2015-2016. The study evaluated
relevant environmental impacts associated with production,
distribution, and use of multiple fuels used in cookstoves, while
also considering social and economic factors. FACIT allows users to
visually compare impacts and trade-offs of different fuels used to
provide energy for cooking. Stakeholders involved in making
decisions related to optimizing the fuel value chain should find
this tool particularly useful. <b>The tool should be used in
parallel with the full report analysis and findings, which can
viewed under the Resources tab below.</b> The study was conducted
in coordination with a <a
href="http://cleancookstoves.org/resources/496.html"
target="_offsite">companion study</a> completed by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (EPA/600/R-15/325)."<br>
<br>
I recommend that you watch the 14 minute video "<a
href="http://cleancookstoves.org/assets-facit/FACIT-Overview-Tutorial.mp4"
target="_blank">Online Tutorial: Study Overview and Getting
Starting with FACIT</a>" that is accessed half way down that
cited important first page with links to the Executive Summary, etc.<br>
<br>
Making comparisons about many fuels and stove types and eight
specific countries, all in relation to different major impacts
(Environmental; Economic; and Social & Gender considerations).<br>
<br>
There was a Webinar about FACIT a week ago, but the real thing is
what to look at.<br>
