Biochar Cookstove  Nolan Hagge, Benjamin Hofland  Sponsor: Dordt
College engineering department  The Biochar Cookstove envisions
a world free from unhealthy smoke and painful deforestation
pressures brought on by wood-fuel cooking. The project provides
experimental research, specifications, and a prototype model of
a biochar producing cookstove, focusing specifically on the
context of rural Zambia. The social, geographic, and economic
contextual factors of the target users come to a head in the
need for a fuel efficient, clean emission, inexpensive, and
locally made cookstove that is rooted in a culturally
appropriate design.
