[Stoves] [Bioenergy] sequestration comparison rates

[Thomas Reed]

Dear Thomas:

If you use our woodgas stoves for cooking they also make 20% charcoal 
which should be used as a soil amendment.  This is "double 
sequestration" - turning renewable carbon into buried carbon, while 
using renewable energy for cooking.
