Anil and all,<br>
<br>
Tom Reed is alive and physically healthy but not as scientifically
active as before, living near his daughter in Massachuesetts. He is
now 90 years old.<br>
<br>
There is some current consideration of the eventual disposition of
his many decades of files. if a suitable recipient is available,
please contact me off-list at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:psanders@ilstu.edu">psanders@ilstu.edu</a> and I will
notify Tom and his daughter.<br>

appreciate Dean Still’s tribute to Tom Reed in his
latest newsletter below. Tom was our friend, client,
mentor, and collaborator for more than 40 years. He
inspired inventions, theses, and many companies. Most
importantly he kept bringing us back to fundamentals.
As Director of the US Department of Energy Alcohol
Fuels Program (1979- ) at the Solar Energy Research
Institute (now National Renewable Energy Laboratory)
he introduced many of us to gasification. While there
he developed his stratified downdraft gasifier
concepts. (I remember years of skepticism about TLUD’s
and whether they would ever be adopted.) </p>

<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><span
style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333">Well,
Tom is certainly one of a
small group including Paal
Wendelbo and Ron Larson who
started making “Tier 4” stoves
in the 1980’s. I think of Tom
when I light his wonderful
forced draft TLUD camp stove
which I do to demonstrate a
simple ‘no smoke’ stove. Tom’s
webpage says,” In 1972 Tom
Reed became concerned about
the energy and fuel futures of
the U.S. and began working on
alternate fuels on the side
while working at MIT in the
field of solid state research.
He was the first person to use
alcohol blends during this
period and when he wrote
“Methanol – A Clean Fuel for
the 21st century”, for Science
magazine, it changed his
career. In this article he
said that for the short term
methanol would be made from
natural gas, but in the long
term biomass could supply our
needs forever.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><span
style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333">Looking
out of the ARC office windows,
the rural Oregon road that
curves past the campus is
lined with 100 foot tall trees
and the forest, even after
decades of logging, is
immense. Learning how to
cleanly combust wood seems
important here in the US as it
does in other countries.
Sustainably harvested energy
is only amazing if it does no
harm when burned and complete
combustion opens a carbon
neutral alternative that may
be necessary in all sorts of
applications.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><span
style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333">How
close is the complete
combustion of biomass? Pellet
stoves, industrial burners,
and forced draft in general
gets pretty close. Scrubbing
the remaining emissions gets
closer. In the cook stove
world progress has been faster
than I imagined as back yard
R&D coupled with
university analysis, supported
by the DOE and EPA, inches
science closer to the zero
emission goal. As I envision
the steps needed to complete
the understanding leading to
complete combustion, I’m
thinking that reaching the
goal is almost inevitable,
with thanks to true believers
like Dr. Tom Reed who helped
to start the ball rolling.</span></p>
