Change that to "Declaration of Clean Cooking with Woodgas" .
My goal is that the TLUD stoves with wood fuel are fairly recognized
as being worthy of being among the Modern Advanced Clean Cooking
Soluton (MACCS), as in the "Classification...." that is based on
GACC and ESMAP determinations. <br>

I am not inclined to do what you advocate in your next sentence:<br>

<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12.8px">A broader,
more emphatic claim needs to be made that improving
combustion of solid fuels is possible, has a long history,
just that adapting the principles to particular contexts
takes time and that there are many other possibilities for
biomass energy for small-scale thermal applications -

Too many variables. Too many conflicting claims. Too many
reasons why direct burning of solids (in contrast to the TLUD
burning of GASES FROM SOLIDS) has not been fruitful.<br>
<br>
I do not try to knock any other biomass stoves (the "ICS" devices)
from being considered, but I cannnot bring along in some overly
broad declaration all of the ICS devices and their decades of
baggage. But we (the solid dry biomass fuels users) need to have
at least ONE that is accepted, to stop the blanket rejection of ALL
wood and other dry biomass fuel. And that one with the best
chances is the TLUD technology. <br>
<br>
In the end, what will count is when there are actual success stories
of major acceptance of TLUD (or some other biomass-fueled) stoves.
And that is happening NOW in West Bengal, and will be reported at
the GACC. Will anybody recognize such accomplishments? I do not
know. But a "Declaration....." can have many signatures, but it
would have minimal impact if the "leadership" continues to ignore
the solid results IN ACTUAL HOUSEHOLDS.<br>
<br>
In contrast to success in the field, results like a declaration ON
PAPER are easily ignored, just like any paper that declares Tier 4
results. <br>
<br>
I am busy with other preparations for the GACC Forum. I will
assist if someone else decides to make a "Declaration..."<br>
