The Asia CCUS Network has been successfully launched on 22-23 June 2021 with initially 13 countries (all ASEAN member countries, the United States, Australia, and Japan) and more than 100 international organisations, companies, financial and research institutions that share the vision of CCUS development throughout the Asian region.
The Network members have expressed their intention to participate to share the vision of the Asia CCUS Network that aims to contribute to the decarbonisation of emissions in Asia through collaboration and cooperation on development and deployment of CCUS.
The Asia CCUS Network provides opportunities for countries in the region to work and collaborate on the low emission technology partnership that will eventually help to build countries’ capability to lower the cost of CCUS technology and its deployment through the collaboration of research and innovation.
At the 2nd Asia CCUS Network (ACN) Knowledge Sharing Conference, the Asia CCUS Network is very pleased to invite experts from the Department of Energy, United States of America (USDOE) to share their insights and experiences about CCUS development and policy to support the deployment of CCUS technology.
The ACN will be an active forum to bridge the knowledge gap on CCUS technologies, policy development to support the development and deployment of CCUS in Asia. Thus, this conference hosted in collaboration with IEA will help to bring in update knowledge, opportunity for investment in CCUS in Asia.

Combustion of Poultry Litter: A Comparison of Using Litter for On-Farm Space ...LPE Learning Center
http://www.extension.org/67582 This presentation will compare using litter as a replacement for LP gas for on-farm space heating with using litter to generate electricity. The comparison includes heating system efficiency, amount of LP off-set possible, value of plant nutrients in the litter, quantity and value of plant nutrients in the litter ash, impact of brokerage, and costs of producing the energy. It was concluded that using litter on-farm as a source of space heat and using the litter ash as fertilizer could provide a potential value of $48 per ton of litter. However, on-farm combustion of litter to produce electricity resulted in a loss of about - $3/ton of litter. Therefore, if a heating and ash management system can be implemented in a cost-effective manner use of litter to off-set 90% or more of the heating energy requirements would be the better of these two alternatives.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

ETHOS 2018 Presentation by Dr TLUD
1. Scale-up of TLUD Stoves
with PWG in 2017-2018
Exec. Dir. of Juntos Energy Solutions, NFP
Paul S. Anderson PhD
“Dr TLUD” ( Doc Tee-lud ) psanders@ilstu.edu
A Presentation at the 2018 ETHOS Conference in
Seattle-Kirkland, WA, USA 26 - 28 January 2018
2. Submitted Abstract
• Following the highly successful pilot project with 11,000
Champion TLUD stoves in Deganga, major roll-out activities
are underway in Uluberia and other communities close to
Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Sales of over 3000 stoves per
month in late 2017 are increasing with additional projects
described in the presentation to show some variations of the
financial arrangements. Significant TLUD stove activities are
also discussed regarding South Africa, Ghana, Uganda, and
Honduras. Projections for 2018 and beyond are presented
for cooking with PWG w/ CCC (Pyrolytic WoodGas with
Close-Coupled Combustion).
3. Outline
•What is PWG or PW Gas?
•TLUD design activities in 2017
•Project growth in West Bengal, India
•Ghana and Honduras and Uganda
•Assam Tea Estate experiences with TLUD stoves
•Look ahead for 2018
4. What is PWG or PW Gas?
• Pyrolytic Woodgas is what is actually combusted in TLUD cooking.
• Shortened to be PWG or PW Gas, to be in the same category as LPG or LP
Gas, which also is an intermediate fuel, that is, it is derived or created
from a primary or raw fuel. Crude oil or natural gas can yield LPG. Solid
dry biomass (such as wood and agro-refuse) can yield PWG.
• In general, gases burn more cleanly than solids, partly because of the
ease of mixing of air (with O2) and other gases.
• PWG is associated with charcoal-making stoves, NOT with full combustion
that includes char-gasification (char-burning).
• PWG is associated with simple, straight-forward, basic pyrolysis.
• PWG is NOT producer gas or syngas or other gasification products that
might be called woodgas, but are not PYROLYTIC Woodgas.
5. Matching fuels and stoves to get clean burning.
• LPG with TRHB (Tank, Regulator, Hose, Burner)
• PWG with CCC (Close Coupled Combustion) Such as: TLUD ND or FA
• Electricity with PG-HE (Power Grid and Heating Element)
• Biogas with DTHB (Digester, Tank, Hose, Burner)
• Solar with (SC-PP) (Solar Collector and Pot Positioning)
• Alcohol with TpDB (Tank(pressurized), Distributor, Burner)
• Alcohol with CEB (Container, Evaporator, Burner)
• Kerosene with CEB (Container, Evaporator, Burner)
• Charcoal with (please specify): BBQ or KCJ, “improved” or brazier….
• Stickwood with Rocket or 3-Stone or Mud or campfire or fireplace
….
6. TLUD design activities in 2017
• Mini-TLUD – Honduras
• FAABulous TLUD – South Africa
• Insert for changing the fuel chamber capacity in the Champion TLUD
• Akha TLUD Stove in Bangladesh (Report by Dr. Julien Winter.)
• Harris 3-level mixing for improved TLUD combustion
7. Project growth in West Bengal and Assam, India.
• Pilot project had 11,000 Champion TLUD stoves in use
by early 2016.
• Expansion project started in March 2017, adding 3500
more stoves per month, totaling 35,000 in 2017.
• Industry-sponsored 4000 additional TLUD stoves on
tea estates in Assam. (further details later)
• Total of about 50,000 Champion stoves in use today,
and growing.

• Report with 25 PowerPoint slides is available in the “Quick Picks” at:
www.drtlud.com/ Provides important background info.
• Project started in 2016. Now 4000 stoves installed.
• Source of funding of the stoves are the tea estates that provide the
stoves to the households of their workers.
• Fuel is provided by tea estates as part of employment contracts.
• The slides are loaded with data and presented in small print for
individual reading, not for a lecture room large screen.
• A selection of the slides are provided here:
12. How the TLUD addresses the need
Needs of the poor
Saving in fuel cost : 50 – 60% saving in fuel and fuel cost.
Indoor Air Pollution: Significantly reduces emissions.
Improved quality of life : Longer cooking duration; better flame control; Frees up time.
Needs of the Economy
Energy Conservation: Saves fuel : TLUD efficiency is 39% Vs 9% for 3 stone stove; use
of alternate energy
Entrepreneurship: Catalyses economic activity at the grassroots ; fuel sizing and
distribution, biochar collection
Needs of the Planet
Deforestation: Versatility of fuel; including waste materials at almost zero cost; Tree
felling not necessary.
Climate Change: Reduces net addition of CO2 into the atmosphere; Process carbon-
neutral if the resultant charcoal is burned.; carbon-negative if charcoal is taken out and
used as a soil conditioner;
A TLUD STOVE GENERATES 4 CARBON CREDITS PER YEAR
13. THE MANAGEMENT RESPONSE
Identification of efficient cooking solution – save wood & reduce carbon dioxide emissions
Pilot project to check suitability of technology
Providing efficient TLUD cook stove to Labor Communities
14. USER TRAILS
Superb adaptation by labor communities
They felt distinct advantage of using this stove
Wood savings a real attraction for them and
charcoal buyback gives them extra income
Other benefits like better Indoor Air Quality also felt
A huge lift in the overall cooking experience as
the stove teaches them organized cooking
17. Tea Estate Investment
All calculations are with a base of 1000 stoves
1. Cost of stove - @INR 3150 per stove ( one time) [US$ 49.22 ]: 3150000 [US$ 49,220 ]
2. Implementation cost @INR750 per stove ( one time ) [$ 11.72 ] 750000 [US$ 11,720 ]
3. UN+GS Registration Fees $4500 ( one time ) [ US$ 4500 ] 300000 [US$ 4,500 ]
4. Annual verification fees @INR500000 [US$ 7812.50 ] X 7 Years 3500000 [US$ 54,688 ]
5. Annual UN+GS Issuance Fees $4500 X 7 years [ US$ 4500 ] 2100000 [US$ 31,500 ]
Total Project cost ( 7 Years ) (for 1000 stoves) 9800000 [U S$ 153,125 ]
For the total of 4000 TLUD stoves on Jalinga Tea Estate, that is US$ 1,071,875 during 7 years.
On a “per stove” basis, that is US$ 153 during the total of 7 years, or US$ 22 per year average.
There are also some annual expenses of general support covered by Jalinga Tea Estate.
Per 1000 stoves, during 7 years,
investment = US$ 153,125.
18. The Charcoal Economics
All calculations are with a base of 1000 stove deployed & Assumption of 100 MT coal usage for driers per month.
Per month. MT = Metric Ton
• Cooking 2 meals per day, each TLUD in use generates 25 kg/mo. X 1000 = 25 MT
• 25 MT of charcoal generated every month as cooking by-product
• Purchased @ INR 4000 per MT = INR 100,000 per month [ US$ 1,563 / mo. ]
• **********************************************************
• **** Costs associated with “Dryer-Coal” (the coal used for drying the tea) ****
• Cost of dryer-coal INR 7500 per MT [ US$ 117 ] [Rather low-quality coal].
• @ 75:25 Coal / Char ratio. There is a 25 MT dryer-coal savings per month
• Gross cost savings per month = 25 X 7500 = INR 187,500 [ US$ 2930 per mo.]
• Net cost savings per month = $2930 - $1563 = US$ 1367
• Cost saving per year = $16,404 and Cost savings during 7 years = US$ 114,828
19. Carbon Credit Economics
• Because charcoal replaces coal, each stove generates 2 CER per year.
• Current Market Price of each CER = 4 € [ US$ 4.76 ]
• 1000 stoves = 2000 CER X 4 € = 8000 € [ US$ 9520; or US$ 9.52 per stove ]
• 8000 € = INR 6L per annum; X 7 yrs = 42L [ US$ 66,640; or $ 66.64 per stove ]
• For the total of 4000 stoves, this carbon credit value is US$ 266,560 in 7 years. ]
Note: CER prices are highly volatile & will depend upon prevailing prices
at the time of sale
Note: This does not include an equal amount of money from the OTHER 2
carbon credits generated because the TLUD stoves reduce fuel consumption.
Part of those credits cover contracted obligations and expenses related to
atmosfair, the agency that processes the carbon credit transactions. The other
part (approx. $ 26,600 in 7 years) goes to Jalinga to partially cover the verification
20. Economic Summary
Calculations are per 1000 TLUD stoves.
Total investment in 7 years 98 L [US$ 153,125 ]
REVENUE:
From 2 CER per year X 7 years = 42 L [ US$ 66,640 ]
From part of other CER (previous slide) [ US$ 26,600 ]
From coal savings X 7 years = 73 L [ US$ 114,828 ]
[ 187,500 X12months]
Total Revenue in 7 years per 1000 stoves 133 L [ US$ 208068 ]
Gross net gain is 119 L [ US$ 54,943 ]
[Or nearly US$ 220,000 from 4000 stoves.]
“Gross” because some expenses are not noted here, such as for charcoal
collection, stove maintenance, support personnel, and specific admin.
21. • Calculations are per 1000 TLUD stoves.
• Total investment in 7 years 98 L [US$ 153,125 ]
• REVENUE:
• From 2 CER per year X 7 years = 42 L [ US$ 66,640 ]
• From part of other 2 CER (previous slide) [ US$ 26,600 ]
• From coal savings X 7 years = 73 L [ US$ 114,828 ]
• [ 187,500 X12months]
• Total Revenue in 7 years per 1000 stoves 133 L [ US$ 208,068 ]
• Gross net gain is 35 L [ US$ 54,943 ]
• [Or nearly US$ 220,000 from 4000 stoves.]
• “Gross” because some expenses are not noted here, such as for charcoal
collection, stove maintenance, support personnel, and specific admin.
22. Summary of Full Impact
• The Charcoal-related aspect alone provides a return on investment (ROI)
of 136 % in 7 years, or ~5% per annum, while covering all of the expenses
to have the stoves in use.
• This does NOT count the other returns and benefits from using those stoves:
A. Value to atmosfair for its part of the 2 carbon credits per stove from less fuel usage
B. Assisting Jalinga Tea Estate to show that it is carbon neutral.
C. Better forestry protection because fewer trees are cut.
D. Healthier kitchens and homes because of less smoke. (savings on health care)
E. Happier cooks -- less attending to the stoves (time savings) , cleaner kitchens,
cleaner pot bottoms, generally better kitchens
F. US$ 131,250 income into the pockets of the households from selling the
charcoal. (About INR 100 or US$ 1.56 per month ($ 19/yr) per Household)
G. Other benefits?? Consider better labor relations because management
brought these stoves to the households
H. The world’s atmosphere has 112,000 fewer tons of CO2e because of these stoves
being used.
23. The Charcoal-related aspects paid the bills and provided a
return on investment (ROI) of 136 %, or 5% per annum.
And in addition:
A. Money from additional 2 carbon credits per stove for less fuel usage.
B. Jalinga Tea Estate is carbon neutral.
C. Better forestry D. Healthier kitchens with less smoke.
