elegant and we have seen iterations of his rice husk gasifier burning
with very clean blue flames from when he posted here.</div><div><br></div><div>I wonder what his target market is, I assume homes in Vietnam that currently use wood or even LPG.</div><div><br></div><div>I
also wonder what other fuel pellets it will burn, I would also like to
buy one if it helps establish production but there is a dearth of rice

For one, I don’t know the price, (only a reference to $60 production cost) and especially shipping costs around the world..</div><div><br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>I have been corresponding with Paul for maybe 15 years - on a product that has looked pretty similar to this for most of that time. This is the first time I have received a message emphasizing a product to buy.. </div><div><br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Paul is a perfectionist - and clearly not sending this for the money. His reference to $60 is from a country (Vietnam) where production costs are low. My guess is that he has found a way to produce this stove at about half the cost one could anywhere else - including China . Because he is a perfectionist.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>There is a flame photo below that is better than any I have ever seen for any biomass stove. And many excellent emission statistics below..</div><div><br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>So this is to ask Paul to come back to these two lists with more on costs for the several thousand individuals reading this on the stove and biochar lists. Later, I know this will be of interest on the CDR list.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>There is no indication in this note and the slides of the char yield. 25%? </div><div><br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Still all or mostly stainless?</div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>What is the electrical power requirements (voltage, etc) of the fan/blower?</div><div><br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>And shipping cost estimates via different mechanisms? I once received something from China using normal US mail at a ridiculously low cost. Possible also for you?</div><div><br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>A few years ago, I would have placed an order. I still might, but now it would be for family members - because of my own change in residence status. So I am asking the above questions mostly for others on these two lists, with hopes you can reply to us all with more of a sales pitch - especially emphasizing the biochar side of this. </div><div><br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Again, thanks in advance for the note below, and congratulations for this new stage of having a s5ove to sell. </div><div><br></div><div>Ron</div><div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br><div style="margin:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b>From: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif">Paul Olivier <</span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif"><a href="mailto:paul.olivier@esrla.com" target="_blank">paul.olivier@esrla.com</a></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif">></span></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b>Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b>gasifiers</b><br></span></div><div style="margin:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b>Date: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif">December 20, 2022 at 5:20:01 PM MST<br></span></div><div style="margin:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b>To: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif">Ron Larson <<a href="mailto:rongretlarson@comcast.net" target="_blank">rongretlarson@comcast.net</a>><br></span></div><br><div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large">
