A group of Australian researchers carried out a project in collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment (MINAM) and the Institute for Research on the Peruvian Amazon (IIAP) to distribute biochar producing cookstoves in the tropical city Iquitos. The stoves are designed to run on any waste biomass and are shown to reduce the amount of particulate matter generated during combustion.
