[Stoves] Biogas technology

[Tom Miles]

Krishna,

You have not told us what your "doubts" are. You have simply passed along a
critique by Mr. Anil Dhussa. Mr. Dhussa is welcome to enter the discussion
directly. This is a technical discussion among participants of methods to
produce cooking fuels. It is not a forum for defending one method against
another. It is a forum for introducing and discussing the practical results
of alternative systems.  The "judge" is the cook. If it is a useful system
it will be used where it is appropriate. You have many opportunities for
biogas.       

Dr. Karve has introduced his Compact Biogas system which uses higher energy
concentrated fuels. I read his presentation as an alternative system with
certain benefits over using dung. That does not mean that dung systems
should not be used. He tells us that 2500 are in use and there is market
interest. So it seems to be an interesting alternative.

I do not understand the purpose of presenting someone else's opinion then
standing back and asking for comment. Are you "doubting" that it can be used
or will be accepted? Ask the cook.
