	charcoal production Natural Resources Institute This handbook draws on the vast experience of the biomass energy section of the Natural Resources Institute to provide a practical guide to charcoal production and technology. The book provides an explanation of different methods of charcoal manufacture both large and small scale; it has details of a wide range of kilns of both modern and traditional design; and information on the most effective uses for charcoal and its by-products. The handbook also examines techniques for analysing charcoal and its raw materials to facilitate product control and standardisation. 158pp more on charcoal burning Price: £10.00

	charcoal and charcoal burning D W Kelley Charcoal, the smelting fuel of the Bronze Age, has been in continual use in Europe for over five thousand years and was essential to the early metalworkers. History records its manufacture and the use of its by-products but gives few details of the charcoal burners - obscure figures often working in remote forest areas. This book describes the rapid growth of the industry up to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and how the emphasis of development changed to the production and refining of charcoal's by-products - acetic acid, tar and wood spirit - for the textile industry and the rapidly growing chemical industries. The use of charcoal and its chemical products decline in the western world as methods changed but today it is still widely used in the metal industries. The industry has entered a new cycle of growth because charcoal is the only solid, high-temperature and sokeless fuel which is made from a renweable source of raw material. 32pp more on charcoal burning Price: £4.99

	how to convert wood into charcoal & electricity Richard H. Buxton "Must-have" information for + Foundry + Survival & Homesteading + Alternative Energy Learn the secrets of distilling wood into charcoal and producer gas. Use the charcoal for cooking, heating, and smelting metal. Use the producer gas to power a lawnmower engine which, in turn, can generate electricity! Intrepid tinkerer/experimenter, Richard Buxton, will show you how to produce clean, pure charcoal while generating electricity. You may be able to adapt this simple, proven design to convert other organic material such as leaves, brush, and perhaps grain into producer gas. You may want to scale the design up or experiment with another proven design from a hundred years ago. You may be able to apply the lessons learned here to power an automobile with wood as it was done during past gasoline shortages. 63pp more on charcoal burning Price: £8.25

	the biochar debate James Bruges Charcoal-making is one of the oldest industrial technologies, and in the last decade there has been a growing wave of excitement about its potential for combating climate change. This is because burying biochar (fine-grained charcoal) is a highly effective way to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In addition it can increase the yield of food crops and the ability of soil to retain moisture. Some people are concerned that awarding carbon credits for biochar could have seriously damaging outcomes. The Biochar Debate agrees, but describes an alternative approach, called the Carbon Maintenance Fund (CMF), that avoids the dangers. This would give every government the incentive to enable businesses, farmers and individuals to increase their country's carbon pool. It is based on remote sensing by satellite, a tried and tested technology, and would be applied globally each year to measure the increase or decrease of carbon in plants, soil and roots. The Biochar Debate sets out experimental and scientific aspects of biochar in the context of global warming, the global economy and negotiations for the future of the Kyoto Protocol. It concludes by encouraging all gardeners and farmers to use biochar to help prevent climate change. 96pp more on charcoal burning Price: £8.00
