                            distinction between fuel and feedstock -
                            this is a very important point. Fuel is
                            burned for energy; feedstock is used to make
                            other products. In our TLUD process, biomass
                            is always feedstock, from which is produced
                            char and a flammable gas (a fuel). <o:p class=""></o:p></div>

                            micro-production of biochar (cookstoves and
                            heaters in households) is that the char does
                            not have enough value to cover the cost of
                            aggregation and sale to existing markets -
                            and existing markets are poorly developed,
                            partly because of a lack of supply. Our
                            solution is to establish community scale
                            biochar+heat systems that acquire local
                            biomass for feedstock, process it into char
                            and heat, use the heat to dry more incoming
                            biomass, and densify it into pellet or
                            briquet feedstock. The densified and bagged
                            feedstock can then be distributed to
                            micro-producers to make heat for cooking or
                            other uses while making more char. We plan
                            to give the micro-producers<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i class="">free dried and densified

                            will be a regional biochar cooperative that
                            will handle technology distribution and
                            operation, biomass processing and feedstock
                            distribution, and biochar aggregation and
