We relate the fuelwood use in kilograms to hectares to better quantify the regional forest impact. From the rural exposure monitoring data set, we find the average moisture content of the fuel (woody miombo biomass) to be 10%. Beginning with the baseline fuelwood use of 187,800 kg of fuelwood per year per village, if we assume a 10% moisture content, the baseline fuelwood is equivalent to 170,700 kg of dry fuelwood. We assume that dry mass can be converted to carbon mass using 47%C (Ryan et al., 2011), resulting in 80,240 kgC per year per village. A study of carbon stocks in miombo woodland in Mozambique found that woody biomass totaled 33.3 tC/ha (Ryan et al., 2011).

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<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><u>per capita</u><span class=apple-converted-space> </span>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> <o:p></o:p></span></p><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><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:14.65pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></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><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:14.65pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:14.65pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif'>On Wed, Sep 13, 2017 at 10:53 PM, Paul Anderson <<a href="mailto:psanders@ilstu.edu" target="_blank"><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>psanders@ilstu.edu</span></a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></span></p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:14.65pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif'>Kevin,<br><br>Thanks for the spreadsheet.

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). <span class=apple-converted-space> </span><br><br>C.

about 3 billion persons have meals prepared on solid fuel (mostly biomass). Family size (especially HOUSEHOLD size, referring to the number of people who eat together) should be 5 or 6, which would put the number of households between 600 million and 500 million. Those are the numbers that I prefer to use.<br><br>I agree with nearly a kilo of char produced per day per TLUD stove (confirmed in Deganga, India, study). 365 days would yield about a third of on ton of char per household. 3 household become a ton/yr. 30,000 HH would be 10,000 tons. 300,000,000 HH (about half of the needed cookstoves) would be 100,000,000 tons.<br><br>So it would take 10 years to reach one GIGA ton, which is 1,000,000,000 tons. (Please check my math.)<br><br>In the Drawdown project, the time period is 2020 to2050, which is 3 decade, or "potentially" 3 gigatons of char sequestration.<br><br>3 GT is only 1/5th of the GT calculated for ALL cookstoves, and over 3 times more that what was calcualted for ALL biochar by 2050.
