Project Objectives

• To promote the development and innovation of
  biomass stove enterprises in China
• To reduce indoor air pollution and improve users
  health and life quality
• To investigate opportunities to promote
  innovative Chinese household biomass technologies
  and products in other developing countries.

Winning Stoves Review by Shell Foundation and
CEIHD
21
Next Steps Proposed for China

• Capacity building with winning manufacturers
• Pilot project in 300 households in 5 counties
  in western China
• Business technical training for supply chain
• Business technical training for manufacturers
• Media dissemination
• Government outreach
• Testing capacity
• System for industry standards
• Develop end-user materials on optimal usage

22
Market Investigation in Maharashtra

• 4 UC Berkeley grad students
• Developmental economics
• Resource economics,
• MBA/MPH
• 1 Chinese grad student
• 15 stoves shipped to Phaltan (3 models)
• Worked with ARTI training team in Phaltan
• Tested with local fuels in test center and
  households

• Focus groups were skeptical at first.
• Concerns about price.
• In-home tests worked well for 2 of 3 models.
• One model is easily adjustable, continuous feed,
  good for large families.
• One model is good in small restaurants.
• More work needed on design, fuels manufacturing
  costs.

Chinese stoves market investigation
in India (Phase III)
24
Lessons Learned, India

• Impacts from fuel variation even greater than
  imagined
• Potential customers very open to adaptation to
  unfamiliar products
• Best model may be collaboration between Chinese
  Indian manufacturers Simple transfer of product
  less promising.
