• Rocket Technology introduced to Malawi March 2004 by Peter Scott

• App. 800 Rocket Stoves sold

• 4 certified producers

• research on insulative material with commercial pottery

• research on further RS-application (tobacco curing, baking, hot water geyser, chip frying)

• Since 01/06 in malawian government: Task force Biomass Energy

Status quo in Malawi

• reseach on “cheap” Household Rocket Stove

• HHRS in two designs: rectangular and round

• Quality control system and certification of producers

• Award winning presentations of BEC technologies and BEC techniques at international Trade Fairs

Status quo in Malawi - examples

Page 9: Rocket Stoves and other technologies – state of the art in ...

page 91/28/2006

• production by untrained producers design drift

• efficiency tests of institutional stoves (protocol, equipment)

• quality control

• efficiency only one pot – user friendliness

OTHER TECHNOLOGIES:• Water Boiling test: - no lid water doesn’t boil

• areas without clay Insulative material ?

Challenges

ROCKET STOVES: • Insulative Bricks do not ‘survive’ in prison stoves

Trying to put tiles

• Rocket Stove Geometry ( Gaps) difficult for producers

• production costs for Household Rocket Stove versus stability versus efficiency

Page 10: Rocket Stoves and other technologies – state of the art in ...

page 101/28/2006

• e.g. Ethopia: - promotion of MIRT STOVE

- over 50.000 stoves sold

- Shell-Foundation co-funds scalling up

- DGIS to come in for up-scalling to 220.000 stove

GTZ – further stove experience

•e.g.Uganda: - promotion of Rocket Stove (lorena type)

- over 30.000 stove build

- DGIS co-funding for up-scalling for another 60.000 stoves is scheduled
