Introduction
This report is the second part of an effort to test cookstoves for Haiti at the Lawrence
Berkeley National Lab (LBNL) stove testing facility. In January 2010, a massive
earthquake rendered hundreds of thousands of Haitians homeless. A large relief and
reconstruction effort began almost immediately. Many non-government organizations
(NGOs) began considering fuel-efficient stoves as an integral part of the reconstruction
effort. In April 2010, LBNL, with support from the Darfur Stoves Project, organized a
team of scientists and engineers to undertake a fact-finding mission in Haiti to assess
the needs and opportunities for fuel-efficient cookstove intervention. Based on data
collected from interviews with Haitians and NGOs, the team (Scott Sadlon, Robert
Cheng, and Kayje Booker) identified and recommended stove performance testing and
comparison as a high priority need that could be filled by LBNL.
