study, and subsystems analysis, participants learned how to examine the interrelationships of various kitchen components. Other topics discussed included the environmental health status of the kitchen, behavior and beliefs, design application, and monitoring. The workshop included a field activity, where participants divided into 5 groups to visit kitchens in a Vietnamese village. Each group gathered information describing the layout of the kitchen, ventilation, activities of the cook, and health problems. Participants then analyzed the information collected and came up with some suggestion for kitchen improvement. Returning the field a second time, participants conversed with the cooks and household members to find out their opinions about the proposed suggestions. With the insights of the kitchen users, participants then worked to create design application plans.
INDONESIA MOU BETWEEN THE INDONESIAN STOVE NETWORK & PELANGI FOUNDATION
The MOU was signed to formalize co operation in carbon financing based ICSP. To initiate the cooperation, small scale ICS project has been started in July 2007 at Kulon Progo District, Yogyakarta. The purpose of the project is to develop monitoring method for carbon financing based ICS dissemination project.

CAMBODIA NGO DELIVERY OF RURAL ENERGY SERVICE WORKSHOP June 25, 2007
Following the presentations were a session which discussed the strategy of the WB supported project on Neang Kangrei stove (NKS) dissemination. There was also a special discussion joined by 10 women participants (representing NGOs, Ministry of Women Affairs and MIME), which was initiated by WB advisor Clive Hughes, and aimed at establishing a Gender &Rural Energy Working Group. The workshop was successful and fruitful for WB and GERES in their efforts to formulate approaches in ICS dissemination. It has also been successful in terms of being able to introduce participating organizations to potential practical rural energy technologies and informing them of successful enery project implementation experiences.
The meeting's agenda included: an introduction to Neang Kangrei Stove (NKS), a new model ICS developed by GERES and a discussion on a plan of its dissemination; election of Network Core Team members and; orientation to climate change and The workshop was presided by HE. Tun Lean, General Director of the carbon credit financing for improved cookstove General Directorate of Energy , MIME.

S U S TA I N A B L E MANAGEMENT
WOOD
ENERGY
ARECOP small fund will co-finance sustainable charcoal production project, a project jointly implemented by the Forestry Administration (a forestry department under the Ministry of Agriculture), GERES and WeNetCam. The project is located at Sihanukvill tree plantation. GERES is also currently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Forestry Administration to assist Cambodia forestry sector on sustainable wood energy management.
The pottery components are assembled and plastered with clay, sand and rice straw mixture. The production cost of the stove is around US$50 and it is estimated that the stove will be retailed at about US$70. The Vattanak stove is able to save around 40% wood consumption from the typical operation of palm sugar production unit. A palm sugar production production unit can save about 4 tons/yr of wood, which is equivalent to 6.6. ton CO2/yr. The average temperature produced by the Vattanak stove is 900C, relatively higher than the flame temperature of traditional stove, which consequently produces less product of incomplete combustion.
Pyrolisis Wood
GERES-Cambodia with the support of ESMAP will start the commercialisation of the Vattanak stove in Kampong Chhnang province, an area well known for its palm sugar. The aim of this program is to disseminate the stove through commercialization which will eventually be independent of development program's internvention.

Wood gas Metal grate Primary air Chimney Gas flame Secondary Mix gas/O2 air
The stove is composed of 4 main elements: The pyrolysis chamber where the wood is gasified. The venturi where wood gas is mixed with oxygen. The relatively small size of this chamber increases the speed of the gas flow and improves its mixing with oxygen. The secondary air has been pre-heated thanks to the metal tubes going through the pyrolysis chamber. The flaming chamber is where the thermal exchange with the palm juice in the wok begins. The venturi is connected with a conical burner. The angle between these 2 ceramic parts generates turbulence to improve the mixing of gas and O2. The conical shape of the burner helps the flame development. The chimney creates the necessary natural draft. The height of the chimney is of 3.5 m.
