This document discusses a project to design and manufacture a wood gasifier for use in Vietnam. It analyzes available biomass materials like rice straw and proposes gasifiers as a solution to provide clean cooking energy while producing biochar as a soil enhancer. The group analyzes the gasifier and biochar markets in Vietnam, estimates costs of production, and outlines procurement, sales and distribution strategies. It also discusses stakeholder interests, job creation, and protecting resources. Experimental results from other projects show increased crop yields from using biochar and the efficiency of gasifiers over open fires. The group evaluates technical options and identifies the TLUD stove as the best solution to meet requirements.
