Dear Crispin,
House made of logs is the most common type of housing in rural areas in
Russia. This is where the big pine forests. I had a house made of logs
as a summer home for many years. I think it's very hygienic and
environmentally friendly housing. Many enterprises in Siberia are doing
sets of logs and other items to build homes and sell it. We are aware of
the high demand for charcoal in Mongolia and other countries in Central
Asia. We have the technology. We have many raw materials. We do not have
the investment for this today.
Thank you for you attetion
Yury

Dear Yuri
Great to hear from you! You have been too quiet.
I visited a 2 story log house (a new one) in Gachuurt outside
Ulaanbaatar and they proudly told me the logs all came from Russia!
Big
surprise. Apparently there is a type of tree that does not split much
when it dries. Very straight too. It is the preferred as the building
method by one ethnic group so perhaps they learned about it in Russia.
There is a lot of wood used as fuel in Ulaanbaatar but zero charcoal.
Even street vendors selling cooked meat use wood. Compared with coal
it
is expensive unless you live out of town. The city burns perhaps
400,000
tons of wood per year. It is only responsible for one or two percent
of
the air pollution because the stoves are wood stoves, not coal stoves.
The idea is to introduce proper coal stoves as well.
Regards
Crispin in Beijing
