The calculations used to set baseline assumptions for fuel use are, in some cases, based on inaccurate assumptions about fuel use and deforestation in the project region, and therefore contribute t...

Cookstove projects are divided into two categories: improved efficiency projects and fuel-switch projects. Improved efficiency stoves are more common. They replace traditional cooking equipment, wh...

BeZero’s analysis finds appreciable differences among the various methodologies used to measure the efficacy of cookstove projects, but also provides insight into practices that can reduce uncertai...

The health consequences can be severe. Globally, according to WHO estimates, more than 3.8 million people die prematurely every year as a result of exposure to household pollution from burning kero...

Household air pollution is generated by the use of inefficient and polluting fuels and technologies in and around the home that contains a range of health-damaging pollutants, including small parti...

Household air pollution accounted for the loss of an estimated 86 million healthy life years in 2019, with the largest burden falling on women living in low- and middle-income countries. Almost hal...

Clean cooking goes beyond a simple kitchen upgrade and meals—it's about how we cook. Cleaner, modern cooking technologies will improve health, protect the environment, and be crucial to an equitabl...

When we talk about clean cooking, we refer to people using cleaner fuels and energy-efficient modern stoves.Around 4 billion people do not have access to modern energy cooking services. Instead, th...

Cooking over open fires or inefficient stoves typically entails burning fuels (such as wood, charcoal, coal, and kerosene) that release harmful, climate-warming emissions.These emissions of short-l...

Many of today’s more modern stoves are highly efficient and can reduce fuel use by 30%-60%, resulting in fewer emissions of greenhouse gas and black carbon.Recent evidence also demonstrates that th...

 Check Product Specifications and Labels: Most modern stoves, whether gas, electric, or biomass, will specify their combustion efficiency in the product specifications or on labels. This informati...

·  Energy Efficiency: This KPI measures how effectively the stove converts fuel into heat. High energy efficiency means less fuel consumption and lower operating costs over time. Look for stoves th...

Improved hearths, similar to improved cookstoves, are designed to reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions of harmful pollutants, and improve the health and safety of the users. They typically feat...

IntroductionSelecting a stove that is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly is crucial for both reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental impact. Here are several key factors...

IntroductionCooking is an essential activity that has been an integral part of human culture for thousands of years. Traditionally, cooking has been done using open fires or inefficient stoves, whi...

Cookstove projects – projects which improve access to clean cooking technologies, improve health and livelihoods of women and children, and reduce deforestation from unsustainable demand for wood f...

Nearly three billion people worldwide are using harmful fuels for cooking on open fires within the home[1] Clean cooking stoves are appropriate in homes that do not have a connection to electricity...

Not only are clean cookstoves a climate solution, they're also promoting a just transition to a low-carbon world by providing jobs, training, and social benefits to communities and improving househ...

The efficiency of solar cookers compared to conventional stoves is influenced by several factors, primarily rooted in their operational principles, energy type, and usage conditions. Here’s a detai...

Technological innovations and trends in the clean cookstove sector continuously drive industry progress, aiming to enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, improve user-friendliness, and expand functi...

Cookstove carbon projects are initiatives that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by promoting the use of efficient and clean-burning cookstoves in households, primarily in developing countries...
