| 英文摘要: | SoFo will take the research done on the Score-Stove project and explore at least two business models for exploitation in each of Bangladesh, Tajikistan and the UK. The original call from EPSRC was specifically targeted at developing country applications. The Score proposal, as granted by EPSRC, was covenanted to ensure that any profits made in the developing countries remained in those countries. Commercialisation in these regions has to benefit the targeted societies. The Score thermo-acoustic technology has wider applications and we also intend to commercialise the technology within the UK by licence and grants for such uses as CHP (Combined Heat and Power) and bio-mass burning cooking stoves. The Score-Stove is a low-cost wood or dung burning stove that also generates electricity for use in individual households. It reduces wood consumption by up to 50% and virtually eliminates smoke inhalation that causes so many health concerns in developing countries where households cook on a 3 stone stove and have no access to electricity. SoFo will stimulate interest in developing country and UK manufacturers and investors. Through demonstrations it will obtain more accurate costs for stove manufacture and produce market research for each target area. The demonstrations will each be customised for local cooking habits, fuel and aesthetic requirements, so as to put the existing scientific rig into a more attractive business proposition. The potential rural world-wide market for the stove is from 15 million to 500 million units depending on the product cost and carbon credits or grants available. The UK replacement CHP boiler market is estimated at 250,000 units per year. This project will evaluate how much of these markets are available within the three targeted countries. |
