The trend for bioethanol stoves in Africa is slowly gaining traction, driven by the need for cleaner cooking solutions. Traditional stoves using wood or charcoal contribute to indoor air pollution ...

there are several strategies you can consider, though these need to take into account market demand, brand influence, and legal regulations. Here are some possible approaches:1.Brand Binding: You c...

In Rwanda, many households still rely on charcoal for cooking, leading to a range of health and environmental issues. For example, the production of charcoal requires extensive deforestation, which...

Climate change has led to a 1.5°C increase in global temperatures, primarily driven by rising CO2 levels from the burning of fossil fuels such as gasoline, LPG, and natural gas. While CO2 is a well...

Climate change is primarily a social issue because its consequences are felt most acutely by vulnerable communities, particularly those in developing countries. These groups, who contribute the lea...

Gasification has an immense potential to make use of a great variety of biomass residues that are difficult to burn cleanly in conventional stoves. Wherever stick-wood is plentiful and at a low cos...

Compared to solid biomass burning improved cookstoves, gasifiers have certain advantages:Cleaner burning of solid biomass (considerable reduction of soot, black carbon and indoor/outdoor air pollut...

Gasifiers can separate gas generation from gas combustion in space and time. In a reactor (gas generator) that is optimized for heat-dependent drying and pyrolysis, solid biomass is first converted...

Now taking advantage of the model we have for each cooking solution, it is possible to calculate the price of a single MJ of cooking energy for each stove/fuel, and then from there proceed to calcu...

With 2.4 billion people burning biomass fuels on a daily basis, about 2 million tons of biomass are going up in smoke every day. In most of the urban areas in developing countries, charcoal is usua...

Clean cookstoves are a crucial component of climate action, offering multiple benefits in the fight against climate change:1. Reducing Greenhouse Gas EmissionsLower Carbon Dioxide Emissions: Tradit...

Countries where charcoal is a popular cooking fuel and face issues related to inefficiency, environmental degradation, and health problems due to traditional cookstoves are in great need of improve...

Many developing countries, especially those with large rural populations and limited access to modern energy sources, stand to benefit greatly from improved firewood cookstoves. Here are some regio...

Promoting clean cooking energy in rural communities requires a comprehensive approach that addresses technical, economic, social, and cultural aspects. Here are several strategies:Promoting clean c...

Climate change is fundamentally a social issue before being an environmental one because its impacts disproportionately affect the most vulnerable populations. Communities in developing nations, of...

Clean cooking is essential for enhancing global food security by tackling both health and environmental issues that affect food systems. Traditional cooking methods, which often depend on burning w...

Clean cooking plays a crucial role in global food security by addressing both health and environmental challenges that directly impact food production and consumption. Traditional cooking methods, ...

Climate change has caused global temperatures to rise by 1.5℃, largely due to the increased emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) from burning fossil fuels like gasoline, LPG, and natural gas. While CO2...

In most developing countries, cooking still remains a woman’s responsibility. Women are often in charge of both cooking for their families and collecting the fuel needed for that. This makes women ...

Energy poverty can be seen as both a cause and a consequence of economic poverty. A low income cannot afford a modern way of cooking and leads to heavy reliance on inefficient cookstoves fueled by ...

The daily exposure to the smoke from an often ill-controlled combustion causes many people – especially women- to inhale a number of toxic components, which can cause (and often do) a range of chro...
