Please name them. Any additional info about each one would be
useful, but we can seek that info later.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear stovers,
<div>LPG in cylinders is a commodity that can easily be
converted into money. Those who get subsidized or free LPG in
cylinders often sell the cylinders to users who have to pay
the full price. Biomass is actually cheaper than LPG. It takes
about 3 kg wood to get the same energy as a kg of LPG. Whereas
3kg wood costs about Rs.20 (US cents 30), non-subsidized LPG
costs Rs.90 (US$1.4) per kg. Cleanly burning biomass stoves
are available in India, but since the petroleum companies in
India are owned by the Government of India, the government is
just not interested in promoting stoves using biomass.</div>

Kirk Smith has shared his latest book-chapter. Links to
it are below.<br>
<br>
I make several comments, mostly with my focus on "solid
biomass fuel stoves":<br>
<br>
1. The content about LPG fuel and stoves in India is
quite worthwhile. The chapter is based on 8 solid
peer-reviewed writings that are listed in the Endnotes
(all written by Smith, often with co-authors.) For that
reason, much of what is in the book chapter is very
similar to prevous writings. So this chapter brings
numerous segments together nicely. <br>
