16 New Gasifier Designs by Paal Wendolbo

17 Eleven Ac/vi/es of the TLUD Value Chain 1. Appropriate designs and sizes of TLUD gasifier stoves without restric7ons on copying. 2. Bulk steel purchase and ini7al cu>ng for lowest costs of crucial raw materials. 3. Prepara7on of flat- pack pieces using sheet metal stamping presses with quality assurance. NOTE: Facets 1, 2, 3 are crucial for Awamu to be a sustainable business opera5on. To assure the accomplishment of all the other value chain ac5vi5es, Awamu will lead by example. But Awamu freely shares or gives to others the ac5vi5es appropriate for hundreds of small en55es. 4. Easy transporta/on of flat- pack pieces. 5. Assembly of completed stoves at or near the points of sale. 6. Marke/ng and sales in small focused areas to u7lize user endorsements. 7. Organize stove- user- support within each market area for maintenance and secondary sales. 8. Establish mul/ple fuel- supply chains in local areas. 9. Coordinate all of the preceding ac7vi7es in order to monitor stove usage and facilitate M&E verifica/ons. 10. Organize for carbon credit possibili/es, the required verifica7ons, and the appropriate alloca7on of funds received. 11. Ul7mately fulfill the complete value chain, with at least some stoves priced less than US$10, and available na7onwide with money- back guarantees of sa/sfac/on and longevity.
