<p class="MsoNormal">Several questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. What is the source of the pellet data figure?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>[PSA>>] Probably from Christian Rakos, a pellet industry leader in Europe (Austria based).</i></b><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. The dominant figure feature is the growth in China - approximately doubling every two years (annual growth rate around 35%). Is there any data to show that many of the pellets are heading for char-making stoves (which might be a
growing industry?). I think there is pellet use for electrical generation in China.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>[PSA>>] Save to assume that very little is for char-making. Significant amount for home heating stoves.<o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. The Chinese interest in pellets and biochar might be related to air quality - trying to eliminate historic burning of crop residue in the fields.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>[PSA>>] Yes.<o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><o:p> </o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I read of concerns about African fields also intentionally fired every year; can that concern be a factor in Africa in favor of pellets? (I am suggesting trying to emulate China.)<b><i>[PSA>>] No. Just trying to have fuel for cooking
(and for the new TLUD-FA stoves that are coming on now).. Ambient air pollution is not a problem but not a cause for African interest in pellets.</i></b> <o:p></o:p></p>
