Study Visit to Jagdishpur, 17-18 February 2012

The document details a study visit to Jagdishpur, where TERI tests advanced cookstoves and off-grid lighting. Key observations include the requirement for prepared biomass in forced draft stoves, the prevalence of multiple stove use in households, and the utility of portable solar lanterns charged via a PV micro-grid.

• Advanced cookstoves are being tested for combustion and usability, with forced draft models requiring prepared biomass like wood chips or pellets; failure to use these specific fuels can lead to incorrect operation by villagers.
• Households in the study area typically use multiple stoves, including standard chulha (concrete/clay) stoves as backups and LPG stoves, though the latter's use is affected by cost and availability.
• Off-grid lighting is provided via portable solar lanterns charged by a PV cell micro-grid for a small daily fee, offering flexibility for users to move the light between home and shops.
• Biogas is a viable energy option due to the presence of cattle and the production of fertilizer slurry, although it struggles to compete with subsidized LPG.
