[Stoves] Discussion of biomass cooking stoves <>

Dear Paal,
if your stove accepts pellets made of sawdust as fuel, you might also try
using dry leaves falling on the ground. If they are really dry, they crumble
quite easily and the powdery biomass can be turned into fuel briquettes. The
beauty of this technology is that you don't have to cut trees to get your
fuel.
Yours

Dear Stovers.

Not only wishes for a Happy New Year, but a real action too on the FES
development.

            We has today started a small TLUD pilot-project in Zambia  in an
area where there is a felt need of changes on the household energy sector,
deforestation and smoke-related deceases caused by charcoal and 3 stone
firewood cooking.


            We have also learned from the discussion that the Tlud/ND is
giving clean smokeless energy, is efficient and flexible and will cover all
the needs of energy for household and institutional cooking.  The Tlud can
utilize different types of biofuel like sawdust, maize cobs,

straw, briquettes, pellets etc with only small changes. That's why we have
chosen the Tlud/nd for our project, but we start with the fuel, the fast
growing trees and the local resources. Afterwards we want to introduce other
types of biomass  for briquetting for household fuel.



With regards Paal W. paaw at online.no
