Each enterprise was at a different stage in their business model development and each capacity building plan was tailored to their specific stage, challenges, and needs. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='box-sizing: border-box;font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: 2;text-align:start;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing:0px'>Other cookstove and fuel companies are currently facing or will face the same challenges as the featured companies. To this end, the Alliance and ENEA designed a "handbook" to help fuel companies address challenges, focusing on four themes: market and demand; sustainability of supply; logistics and industrial issues; and environmental impacts across the supply chain. The guide presents the context of each of the three companies and showcases the tools and methodologies used to provide analysis and recommendations to each. The guide also incorporates data, methodologies, and insights from previous Alliance fuel grantee consultancies. This webinar will feature the handbook results and will walk participants through ways to leverage the tools (supply curves, market replication tools, factory location algorithm, etc.) and experiences of these companies to strengthen their own fuel-focused business models. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:#385723'>Please share this event with your networks. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=733 style='width:549.9pt;margin-left:5.4pt;border-collapse:collapse'><tr><td width=157 valign=top style='width:117.9pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'></td><td width=288 valign=top style='width:3.0in;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></td><td width=288 valign=top style='width:3.0in;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></td></tr><tr><td width=157 valign=top style='width:117.9pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.cleancookstoves.org/"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=140 height=87 style='width:1.4583in;height:.9083in' id="_x0000_i1026" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D2EA97.DC1CC540" alt="Global_Aliance_Clean_Cookstoves_blue_v23"></span></a><o:p></o:p></p></td><td width=288 valign=top style='width:3.0in;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Seema N.
