| StoveTeam started building Justa stoves! |
| New momentum in Honduras… |
| Working with underfire air stoves, working with solar, working with wood drying. |
| Created uncertainty models of low-cost Particulate Matter Sensors. |
| Justa Stove Project in Guatemala and managing that project |
| Raul Gonzalez-Acuna, starting today with StoveTeam International |
| Combining carbon sequestration opportunities with cookstoves that make biochar |
| I am working with some amazing old friends in Cental America again. Feels like coming home. |
| Published a new book at Aprovecho.org |
| We have created a greater awareness and experience of smallholders making biochar in stoves and larger devices to improve their crops. |
| Analyzed a lot of household energy-related data, using better processes than before! |
| We kept Berkeley Air afloat despite the pandemic and reinvented a lot of our monitoring procedures and approaches to work remotely with our field partners. |
| Rock beds to improve open fire cookstoves in millions of African households. |
| The Jet-Flame is taking off |
| Started investigation of Institutional Stoves |
| Two papers published, and two to come! |
| I collected a bunch of people and wrote a big paper about COVID and ventilation. Not stoves but got me in touch with more science of homes |
| Aid Africa has received over 11,000 carbon credits. We’ve completed many water projects. planted 25,000 fruit trees. We’ve been hampered by the pandemic shutdown. |
| Working on measuring health and environmental impacts of clean fuel distribution |
| Increase in production capacity in uganda |
| We started a Green Climate Fund Project and are almost ready for implementation… |
| Developed a safety and performance standard for METHANOL fuelled stoves through South African Bureau of standards. Methanol as a a safer alternative to kerosene from accidental fire perspective. |
| Supporting several large and ongoing cookstove adoption trials with sensors and analytics. Fun projects include HAPIN, a study with World Central Kitchen and Starbucks in Guatemala, a study in the Rohingya camps in Bangladesh, and an economics study in India. |
| Participating in ISO standards implementation workshops co-sponsored by CCA, ISO, WHO, and EPA. |
| Ideation for sustaining a clean cookstove company in Uganda 🇺🇬 |
| Worked on developing a low cost black and brown carbon sensor and a modelling project on health impacts of different indoor air pollution scenarios. |
| Experimenting with TLUD burners, by systematically changing dimensions and measuring gasification rates. Burners tested are concentrator rings, internal risers, nozels. |
| I’m happy with progress with low cost stoves working with Kevin McLean. Mostly working now on biochar – especially comparisons with biochar’s competitions. Also active with USBI. Good to be back at an EThOS meeting |
| With colleagues from the Alliance, ISO, and WHO – and support from GIZ and SNV, organized and implemented a series of online workshops on ISO Standards dissemination with Francophone African Countries and Haiti! |
| From March, building on connections and network we had from cleaner cookstove dissemination we set up a mask making system in Malawi and in a few weeks organized the production and distribution of 5m cloth masks – a remarkable achievement, but it took our focus off our core-work – strengthened the network but took our focus off |
| Expanded the cookstove testing lab to accommodate U.S. wood heaters |
| Thrilled to hand the ETHOS Madam President baton over to Tami, we are so lucky to have her! |
