for fuel and produces biochar while producing minimal polluting out gasses.

Dumaguete City, Philippines
subject: gasifier stoves, biochar, ecological sanitation
An ambitious attempt is underway in Dumaguete City to promote
gasifier-stoves in the public market to replace (totally ban or reduce
use of) open fire (polluting wood) stoves and expensive bottled gas
stoves.
The (bio)char is intended to be collected for use as a replacement for
the expensive deodorizing agent for 1) the water-less urinals of the
public pay toilets in the public market, and 2) the city garbage dumps
to reduce its PhP10 million annual budget for odor control.
The city market manager, an engineer, has been introduced to the
Belonio-Olivier gasifier stove, and plans to have Paul's 150 gasifier
reactor fabricated locally (using the modified Belonio burner from
Vietnam.) Engineer Fortin's efforts in waste-conversion technologies
have the support of the City Mayor who has allowed him time to
interface with Paul Olivier in Vietnam.
