A regional research and dissemination programme; ‘Renewable Energy Technologies in Asia’; funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and coordinated by the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT); is being executed in six Asian countries during 1996-2003. Biomass briquetting is one of the three research areas under the programme; the others being photovoltaics and solar drying. Research and dissemination activities are being carried out at AIT as well as in three participating country institutions. The main objective of cooking time and removal of smoke. The case-study of the entrepreneur is a success story of stove dissemination. The key factors and lessons are the following. l The improved stove design should deliver significant benefits. l Adequate motivation for the entrepreneurs in the form of employment and income is necessary to ensure qual-ity service. l The entrepreneur should ensure quality of stove con-struction and provide user education. l Guarantee of performance backed by post-construction visits to the household ensured correction of defects in construction or operation. l Stoves should be built on demand. l Subsidy; if necessary for the poorer households; should be linked to post-construction performance.We thank the late R.K. Joshi and his son A.R. Joshi for their cooperation and also for providing data for our analysis. We also thank all the households that cooperated during our survey. The Ministry of Environment and Forests of the Government of India provided financial support to the Centre for Ecological Sciences; Indian Institute of Science; for conducting research on these issues. R. Kumar; S.S; Lokras; M.S. Hegde and K.S. Jagadish were responsible for the success of the ASTRA stove programme in the Sirsi area.The financial support of the Swedish International Development Co-operation Agency (Sida) for this study in the framework of the project ‘‘Renewable Energy Technologies in Asia --a Regional Research and Dissemination Programme’’ is gratefully acknowledged;
