[Stoves] Which technologies will best reduce CO and black carbon, improve health and safety and lower household energy costs?

[Tom Miles]

Tami,

Good points. 

1. Interpret the black carbon as including PM, HC and emissions generally.

2. I had household energy budget specifically in mind.

Hola Tom,
I have to give some picky questions, sorry.

1. There is more to particulate matter (PM) than black carbon; that is, some
PM is black carbon, but a lot of it is not. Do you want to reduce PM or
reduce black carbon?

2. Do you mean lower *energy* costs or lower *household* energy costs? 
(Relates to brick kilns and the like: you could improve the energy picture
but not directly affect household budgets)

cheers
Tami
