[Gasification] "ecogas" defined

[Prof. S.C. Bhattacharya]

Dear all,

We prepared a review of biomass combustion under a Sida funded project about
one year ago. I will be happy to send a soft copy of the report to
interested persons. A hard copy can also be purchased (contact:
enreric at ait.ac.th with a copy to me in case of any difficulty).

So far as naming the stove is concerned, we used the terms "gasifier stove"
(in the case where the biomass is nearly completely converted to gas with a
bit of residual char) and "pyrolyser stove" (in cases where a substantial
amount of charcoal is produced as by-product) to reflect the actual
intermediate process involved.
