alternative cooking fuels and energy technologies in humanitarian settings.
It will be held on December 11-12, 2008 in New Delhi, India.
The conference steering committee is soliciting abstracts and technology
demonstrations for presentation at the conference. Please find the call for

The conference will bring together developers, practitioners, and users of
