<div dir="ltr">Paul: <br><br>Two comments: <br><br>1. If "mealtime" refers to a day (and 3 cooked meals per day), 1 kg wood per day seems to be on the low side, unless it is per capita. I remember that a "rule of thumb" (or "expert estimate") back when people prepared national energy balances, was "1-2 kg wood <u>per capita</u> per day". Of course, the gross input per family depends on many factors including efficiency, types of cooking tasks, age/sex composition, ambient temperature and wind patterns, and cook's whims; however, if the per family net energy per mealtime is 3.7 kWht or 5,750 Btu, I suspect the family may be too poor to afford enough food from scratch - relying on more fresh vegetables or uncooked materials or on partially prepared purchased food. <br><br>This single number -- how much useful (net) energy per family per year is "required" on average in a given context - would seem to be very useful, with some assumed efficiencies,  for computations of emissions and deforestation or loads carried on heads or backs. But I have seen very few such attempts. Any thoughts? I will dig up some GACC studies. <br><br>2. The way the spreadsheet is set up, the financial cost of fuelwood is the most critical assumed parameter for the breakeven carbon credit value (CCV). Only at $0.02/kg cost of high-quality wood does the CCV come close to today's price in the EU ETS. Since the supply curves for both wood and labor are likely to at least somewhat upward sloping, the question becomes, what is the potential - in global terms - for biochar to compete with other CDR options?  <br><br>It would seem that biochar for CDR and charmaking for local sales (as fuel) are two entirely separate markets and will probably remain that way for a long while. <br><br>Does anybody have a good number for useful cooking energy per household per year? <br><br>Nikhil<br><br> <br><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="m_3706110924707821985m_-7179329359497387110gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="georgia, serif"> <br></font><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

    Kevin,<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for the spreadsheet.  This is an interesting situation where
    calculated numbers are not matching with some human activities about
    the value of charcoal.<br>
    <br>
    This discussion is only with the Biochar group, so I am adding the
    Stoves Listserv and attaching the spreadsheet.<br>
    <br>
    Notes;<br>
    <br>
    The use of BTU/LB in columns H and I should be in the green
    (calculated) values and the corresponding metric units (which you
    provide) should be the yellow variables that can be entered. 
    Please.<br>
    <br>
    I notice that changes in the Value of unburned char/kg  (C23 ) is
    essentially linked to the cost of fuel wood  (C5) , and therefore
    virtually dictate the conclusion of carbon credit pricing needed
    (C28 ).   So, the price stays quite high.<br>
    <br>
    ****************<br>
    A.  Consider the case of the cook who has no real use for the char,
    which means that the cost of fuel  is 100% allocated to the cooking,
    and the resultant char has zero  value.  To that cook there is no
    trade-off about char being used for cooking other meals.    Selling
    the char is "pure profit", whether it is a calculated value of
    $0.16/kg (as in C26) or merely $0.12/kg as in Deganga, India, or
    only $0.08/kg which is still better than nothing.<br>
    <br>
    B.  Current "traditional" cooking with charcoal that is produced by
    generally inefficient "traditional" char-making methods would have a
    char yield  (C6) of between 10% (burning too much to ash) and 25%
    (leaving volatiles in the char, or even some incomplete
    pyrolysis/torrification).   <br>
    <br>
    C.  But for those people who produce traditional char, the "cost of
    fuel wood" (C5) could be as low as zero (illegal cutting or
    destructive cutting) or some notional value of the time spent to
    make the charcoal.            <br>
    <br>
    Others need to comment also.   <br>
    <br>

                                                          World figures

                                                          <br>
                                                          I agree with

                                                          household
                                                          become a

                                                          30,000 HH

                                                          But that topic
                                                          is too thinly
                                                          related to the

                                                          need
                                                          discussion.  
                                                          So I request
