[Stoves] Stoves and CDM

[Auke Koopmans]

It appears that (sorry, I try to keep up but that does not always work 
so this may be old news ) EB 26 of UNFCCC has now very clearly stated 
that for stoves under CDM the capacity of the stove in kW counts towards 
the 45 MW thermal limit for small scale projects - see below which was 
lifted from http://cdm.unfccc.int/EB/026/eb26_repan27.pdf which 
describes the "Output capacity of renewable energy equipment: Definition 
of “maximum output capacity equivalent of up to 15 megawatts (or an 
appropriate equivalent)” - seen Annex 27 of http://cdm.unfccc.int/EB/

=============
(c) For biomass, biofuel and biogas project activities, the maximal 
limit of 15MW(e) is equivalent
to 45 MW thermal output of the equipment or the plant (e.g. boilers). 
For thermal applications of
biomass, biofuels or biogas (e.g. the cookstoves), the limit of 45 MWth 
is the installed/rated
capacity of the thermal application equipment or device/s (e.g. biogas 
stoves). For electrical or
mechanical applications, the limit of 15 MW installed/rated output shall 
be used. In case of
cofiring renewable and fossil fuels, the rated capacity of the system 
when using fossil fuel shall
apply.
