  1. Rocket Stoves –state of the art in Malawi ETHOS CONFERENCE 2006 GTZ – ProBECProgramme for Biomass Energy Conservation Andi Michel

  2. Schedule • Introduction • GTZ – ProBEC • Andi Michel • Status quo in Malawi • Challenges with Rocket Stoves • Challenges other technologies • Way forward (HERA)

  3. GTZ – Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer technische Zusammenarbeit mbH • international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development • provides viable, forward-looking solutions for political, economic, ecological and social development in a globalised world • worldwide operations with over 10.000 employees • annual turnover of about 900 Mio Euro • head office in Eschborn / Germany • 20 years experience of stove projects (promotion production and marketing of at least 750.000 stove in 10 countries) • up-scaling of more than 1.100.000 stoves is planned • www.gtz.de

  4. SADC - ProBEC Programme for Biomass Energy Conservationin Southern Africa Vision All population shoud be able to satisfy their energy needs in an affordable and sustainable manner Partner countries as from July 2004: Funding from BMZ Co funding from DGIS ProBEC SADC North: Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi ProBEC SADC South: Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana (forthcoming)

  5. MainstreaminginProBEC Structure HEALTH FOOD Biomass energy related public institutions, civil society and the private sector are successfully promoting and commercialising the use of affordable energy-efficient technologies and techniques for low-income households, institutions and small-scale businesses POVERTY FOREST Purpose Implementing partners Targetgroups Enduser appliances Commercial approach

  6. Andi Michel • german, 28 years old • Dipl. Ing. Mechanical Engineering, MSc Renewable Energies • Stove experience: 2004 Lesotho: Baseline Study and field tests with Rocket Stoves • Malawi: International Stove Workshop • Germany: Master Thesis: Dissemination of energy efficient stoves in developing countries • 2005 Malawi / Zambia: • Training and support of Rocket Stove producers • andreas.michel@gtz.de

  7. Status quo in Malawi • Rocket Technology introduced to Malawi March 2004 by Peter Scott • App. 800 Rocket Stoves sold • 4 certified producers • research on insulative material with commercial pottery • research on further RS-application (tobacco curing, baking, hot water geyser, chip frying) • Since 01/06 in malawian government: Task force Biomass Energy • reseach on “cheap” Household Rocket Stove • HHRS in two designs: rectangular and round • Quality control system and certification of producers • Award winning presentations of BEC technologies and BEC techniques at international Trade Fairs

  8. Status quo in Malawi - examples

  9. Challenges • ROCKET STOVES: • Insulative Bricks do not ‘survive’ in prison stoves • Trying to put tiles • Rocket Stove Geometry ( Gaps) difficult for producers • production costs for Household Rocket Stove versus stability versus efficiency • production by untrained producers  design drift • efficiency tests of institutional stoves (protocol, equipment) • quality control • efficiency  only one pot – user friendliness • OTHER TECHNOLOGIES: • Water Boiling test: - no lid  water doesn’t boil • areas without clay  Insulative material ?

  10. GTZ – further stove experience • e.g. Ethopia: - promotion of MIRT STOVE • over 50.000 stoves sold • Shell-Foundation co-funds scalling up • DGIS to come in for up-scalling to 220.000 stove • e.g.Uganda: - promotion of Rocket Stove (lorena type) • over 30.000 stove build • DGIS co-funding for up-scalling for another 60.000 stoves is scheduled

  11. HERA – gtz household energy programme Other donors & organisations Training & knowledge dissemination Producers & production structures Policies Scaling up – Relevant information and considerations! Financing mechanisms & subsidies Quality management & product Marketing strategy Users & market opportunities
