Dear Friends of clean cookstoves,<br>
<br>
The Indian National Energy Policy (NEP) is being revised, and until
Friday (India time probably) there is a window to submit comments,
etc. <br>
<br>
Concerning cookstoves, I have submitted a comment, below, asking
that TLUD gasifier stoves be included in the consideration of how to
resolve the cookstove problems. If anyone is inclined to send an
email in support of gasifier stoves, please send to the address
provided: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:rajnath-pc@gov.in">rajnath-pc@gov.in</a><br>
<br>
I am hopeful that supportive comments will be forthcoming from
several of you who are well informed about TLUD stoves, and also
from others including the advocates of LPG who have acknowledged
that LPG will not reach the poorest of the poor households, which
could number in the tens of millions of families in India. <br>
<br>
Please note that success in India could lead to similarly successful
efforts in other countries. The main supporting document that I
sent can be read at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.juntosnfp.org/resources">www.juntosnfp.org/resources</a> .<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
Paul<br>

My purpose in writing is to call your attention to, and request
consideration the TLUD (Top-Lit UpDraft) micro-gasifier cookstoves
as an <br>
extremely viable solution (or part of the total solution) to the
cookstove challenges that confront the people and <br>
Government of India. TLUD (tee-lud) capabilities have been proven
successful in a pilot study in West Bengal, and an <br>
enlarged (X 10) project is already underway. <br>
<br>
TLUD stoves are gas-burning stoves that make their own gases from
dry biomass (wood,<br>
agro-residues, dung, etc) for exceptionally clean cooking with
very low costs. TLUD stoves can benefit even the very poorest
families<br>
that are beyond the reach and financial resources of LPG stoves.
In fact, if properly implemented, the TLUD stoves can have<br>
POSITIVE CASH FLOWS for the households, the communities, the
states, and the nation.<br>
<br>
For a concise introduction, please read the attached document "TER
Project.....", which is also found at <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.juntosnfp.org/resources" moz-do-not-send="true">www.juntosnfp.org/resources</a>
<br>
<br>
NOW would be an excellent time for the National Energy Policy
(NEP) to include the TLUD gasifier stoves, <br>
and for both direct and indirect support to be provided so that
the benefits can reach <br>
millions of Indian households within the earliest timelines of the
NEP.<br>
<br>
As the author of that document and as the Executive Director of
Juntos NFP, I assure you of the fullest cooperation by <br>
Juntos NFP, myself, and Moulindu Banerjee (project implementor)
for the TLUD potential to be utilized throughout India.<br>
I look forward to assisting you to accomplish the goals of the NEP
for cookstoves and rural energy.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Paul S. Anderson, PhD<br>
