Cookstoves for ETHOS

An open fire Jet-Flame?

We have been at Shengzhou Stove Manufacturer this November working on cookstoves for display at the annual ETHOS conference including:

Natural draft TLUD
Forced draft TLUD
Natural draft Rocket stoves
Open fire Jet-Flame

If stove projects do not have capable stoves, then project goals will not be met in the same way that some carbon credit projects fail to meet their impact goals when evaluated by fact checkers.

When I think about stoves and factor in low PM2.5 and Black Carbon, I worry that only found fuels will be available in large enough supply to make a significant difference. And the only technology that I imagine can cleanly burn biomass covered with bark is the open fire Jet-Flame.

So, as we get ready for ETHOS, we are trying to reduce costs, etc. in the Jet-Flame while we also concentrate on the three other stoves listed above.
