5. Stove Performance:
Have you measured your stove's performance? Yes
If yes, which stove performance tests have you completed?
None (we have not yet tested stove performance)

Briefly describe how you have used the results of these tests:
Our stoves are currently performing at:
  • ppm carbon monoxide emissions
  • μg/m3 particulate matter emisisons
  • % thermal efficiency
Our goal is to improve the performance of our stove by reducing emissions to:
  • ppm carbon monoxide emissions
  • μg/m3 particulate matter emisisons
  • % thermal efficiency
6. Compared to the prevailing technologies and practices, our stoves reduce emissions of harmful pollutants by % and result in % fuel savings.

7. We will be selecting a few stoves to be tested during the Forum. Would you like to bring your stove to the Forum to be tested? Yes

8. Plans for the near future:
The work we will focus on from January 2009 through December 2010 is:
Capacity  Building of women on alternative energy saving stoves
Our goal for 2009 and 2010 is to generate or help to get clean and efficient cook technologies used in an additional 2000 households.
