COMPETENCE PLATFORM ON ENERGY CROPS AND AGROFORESTRY SYSTEMS IN AFRICA (COMPETE)–OBJECTIVES AND RESULTS
Rainer Janssen et.al,COMPETE, 2008

ABSTRACT: As global fossil energy resources become constrained, bioenergy is emerging as a major potential
resource to supply the energy services currently provided by these fossil fuels. Africa and Latin America have, in
theory, very large areas of land resources ‘available’ for bioenergy production. However, the production of biomass
for energy on the scales necessary to supply significant shares of national and global energy provision, will result in
very substantial impacts (positive and negative) on the ecosystems and cultures of these target regions. The protection
of biodiversity, rural livelihoods and management of scarce water resources are critical considerations in any analysis
of the potential for sustainable bioenergy provision.
The objective of this Competence Platform on Energy Crop and Agroforestry Systems - Africa (COMPETE) is to
stimulate sustainable bioenergy implementation in Africa. COMPETE will establish a platform for policy dialogue
and capacity building in the major multi- and bi-lateral funding organisations and key stakeholders throughout the
bioenergy provision and supply chains.

Carbon Credit Monitoring
David Mukisa, Uganda Stove Manufacturers Limited (Ugastove), November 2007
Ugastove
PCIA Africa Regional Workshop, Pretoria, Oct--Nov 2007

BACKGROUND
•Uganda Stove Manufacturers Ltd (UGASTOVE) was until recently called UCODEA, short for Urban Community Development Agencies.
•It is a progressive improved stove business based in Kampala, Uganda, producing and selling both household and institutional stoves
•Name was changed to ease recognition and distinction as we look forward to branding/ patenting.

The stove project benefited from a US EPA grant in 2004-2006, which funded the construction of production infrastructure, perfection of stove design,
IAP monitoring, market research, part of the KPT costs, and design of business development processes to support the commercialization of the product.
Project won an award for the effort in stove design and improvement at the 3rd Biennial PCIA Workshop in Bangalore, India, March 2007.

Successful IAP monitoring was done according to CEIHD monitoring protocols (Preliminary data shows that UGASTOVE’swood burning stove reduces CO by 54% and PM 2.5by 49%)

KPT successfully done in 2006, follow up in 2007 (Field tests show that the stoves reduce the consumption of fuel by 38-58% compared to traditional stoves).

Lab GHG emissions tests carried out at UCB, enabled the drafting of the PDD based on the scientific data gathered during the said surveys.

Carbon credit program was launched in February 2005 at UC Berkeley, with the intention of registering the credits on the Gold Standard for VER.

In March 2007, the first consultative meeting was held in Kampala as required for the Gold Standard projects

In partnership with CEIHD, a monitoring plan was drafted and forwarded for approval on the Gold Standard.

Fuel Briquette Burning at Stoves Camp 2008
Rok Oblak, August 31, 2008
Briquette Burning Stove


Stove Diagram

This prototype was to check the hole of the briquette and how gasification can do a nice job. As said, starting the fire with few small sticks and then after preheating the chamber, briquettes ignite by themselves and burn throughly. You can help flames with having a stick in the hole while burning. I really liked how the briquette retained its shape after it burned out, so you could still push the next one it without preventing the draft..

But the briquette burned with the surface lit from the combustion chamber, as Larry predicted. You could literally walk away of the stove with the consistent flame going on all the time (I guess the briquettes were good quality :) The air inflow was only through the hole of the briquette.

Funny was, that even when one briquette burned out, the next one ignited and the airflow continued through the hole of the first briquette.

Mdula: A DIY Mud Cooking Stove
Rok Oblak, August 2008

Mdula

Mdula or Modular Mbaula (stove) is a design project aiming to simplify the construction of an efficient household mud cooking stove for extreme rural areas. It is based on a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) construction techique using a simple wooden mold.

Rok Oblak has started a blog on the development of the Mdula at:

Dear Stovers:

I am attaching [the image above]that may be of interest to the stovers.

Here is an unsolicited commentary on our new XL WoodGas Stove, available at

http://www.woodgas.com/bookstore.htm
Woodgas stove
along with our gasification books.

We have recently learned that BP is manufacturing a VERY similar stove
and selling them (only in India) in their equivalent of Walmart. I hear
they have already sold 100,000. Sounds like we are well on the way to
getting a "Billion Improved Stoves" out to the developing world.

If you cover the combustion air holes with aluminum flashing or sheet
metal screws the stove also makes a good gasifier.

Onward,

Bylaw Stove, Northern Uganda

Bylaw Stove

Pls find attached a photo of the bylaw stove from Uganda. It is a traditional stove used in North Uganda. It three trenches dug in the ground to give the shape of 3-stone opern fire, then plasted with a mixture of clay and dung.
