Fwd: MIT research interested in biochar

[Earthsoul India]

Dear All,

Kevin is going to be in India next month and would like to engage with Biochar projects in India!

Kevin - three of the four persons in your wish list, are part of The Society of Biochar Initiatives set up by myself around 4 years ago !

Almitra, my mentor and godmother, also an MIT graduate of yesteryears, is Bangalore based and will be happy to assist you if available ?

I will take you around some interesting sites near Pune and get you to visit the gasolysis machine I gifted to ARTI some 4 years ago to promote Biochar in India and some Biobriquete facilities.

Dr Sai Bhaskar Reddy is doing great work in the Hyderabad area as is Elango in Tamil Nadu.

Also Rajnish Singh in the Uttaranchal mountains is doing a great job with Pine needles !

More later and see you soon,

BR,

Perses Bilimoria

It was a pleasure to talk to you this morning. When I am in Mumbai, I would definitely be interested to see the machines that you produce as well as to visit the bio-briquette projects that are near. 

As promised, please find attached an executive summary outlining the key goals of my India visit in August. 

I would also be grateful if you let me know of any relevant people/organisations that would be interesting to inform my work.

Many thanks,

Kevin

Many thanks! My apologies for the delay in response as I am currently travelling in Kenya.

Could we plan on a Skype or phone towards the latter part of July (say the week of 24th July)? That way I can learn more about your work before I arrive in India and can prepare accordingly.

Many thanks,

Kevin Kung
