In this project facilitating Good Stoves in parts of India, technology on biochar (charcoal) production from crop residue and other wasted biomass and biochar application for improving fertility of soil and as well addressing carbon sequestration.
He is into research and development of technologies for adoption by communities to mitigate climate change, environmental and geoecological degradation, etc. One of the important achievements is doing research and designing 50 'Good Stoves' by him, which were declared as Open Knowledge for the common good. The tribal's living in the deep forests, poor, landless and small farmers are the main stakeholders, by using good stoves they are contributing to climate change mitigation, improvement in health, biomass conservation, etc. Has been providing training's and participating in studies on good stoves in parts of India and abroad. He has declared facilitating "One Million Good Stoves" mission, i.e., to achieve in partnership with various stakeholders. There is a requirement of at least 0.5 billion good stoves in the world. Diverse stove designs, low cost and with high efficiencies are required for adaptation, which would meet the social, environmental, economic, cultural aspirations of communities living in developing world. He believes that Participatory Technology Development and facilitation involving all the stakeholders is the means for achieving this goal. To address the ENVIRONMENTAL, CLIMATE CHANGE, NATURAL AND HUMAN RESOURCES - AGRICULTURE, TERRA PRETA, WATER, ENERGY, SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS, DISASTER MITIGATION AND RESPONSE, and INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY aspects working with Geoecology Energy Organisation (GEO) Organisation.
