Goals

Group 1:

Cross polinization committee: establish links with other organizations (e.g.
ENERGIA), incorporate other perspectives
Performance evaluation committee: test cook stoves, train testers, strategic plan
for involving other labs
Journal committee: ETHOS Journal with online public reviews
Meeting committee: reconsider format
Fuel committee: alternative fuels, briquettes, standardizing, wood preparation
Holistic success committee: foster discussion on def., include models of best
practice
Discuss limitations of lab test
Integrated approach committee: broad discussion of energy services
Tech geeks committee: secondary combustion

Group 2:

Goals:
Can we promote a stove industry distributing __ stoves by 20__?
Continue/expand performance characterization
Use volunteers for dissemination
Better data transfer (tech and social and dissemination)
How to do things:
Use manufacturing expertise available with Shell Foundation and others
New group to analyze and understand bad image of past stoves programmes

Group 3:

Goals:
Separation of tasks between users and researchers
Research user-driven
Scaling combustion chambers to cooking tasks
Tools to process and transport fuels (committee?)
Continue material research for stoves (combustion chamber) (committee?)
Marketing techniques: distribution, convincing, etc. (regional)
Information dissemination: 2-way, regional
Standardized emission testing of stoves (with and without chimney) (committee?)
Government awareness (policy change) (committee?)
Improve international communication (web, conferences)
World food program project: get them to use improved stoves
High altitude species for reforestation (fast growing, good fuel) (committee?)
Indoor air quality readings of rockets without chimneys used indoors

Group 4:

Dissemination of stoves
Using social marketing
Manufacturing large volumes
Dissemination of information
Education of children (schools)
Regional conference
Go to those we hope to help
Invite marketers
Annual ETHOS conference
Separate tracks: technical, research, etc.
Qualitative results made available as standardized within ETHOS and
professionally
Peer review
“true” cost of stoves
integrated systems
thinking of other systems beyond biomass
insulative bricks
more exposure on exposure

Group 5:

Chimneys—reliability
Materials, e.g. combustion chamber/insulative bricks
Design standards—defining
Emissions standards
Exposure/health standards
Stove dissemination
Communication between networks—PROBEC, ARECOP, GENES
Village Energy—renewable household energy
Funding
Women

Group 6:

List of could do/should do:
Know more about other tech. esp. solar, biogas, alcohol
Testing and stove improvements with stronger link to field application
Simplified evaluation of alternatives; info on basic principles, design tips, etc.
Link to broader natural resource (biomass), management strategy—policy
implications
Generate consumer reports
Better representation of women
Work on more “systemic” approach (including resource management, finance,
participation)
Influence government and private sector (connect between ETHOS and them)
Position stoves and enterprises as “infrastructure” development
Specific goals for 2004-2005:
More electronic communication
Websites
Strengthen contribution to HEDON site
Focus on exposure measurement
Influence multi-laterals
Start thinking about urban cookstove strategy (refugee situations)
Regional conferences
Coordinate with other groups
Know more about China
