Modular Plancha Cookstove Design for Capacity Building in Santa Catarina, Guatemala
… pollution from cooking on inefficient firewood cookstoves and open fires leads to 3.2 million premature deaths every year (World Health Organization, 2022). In Santa Catarina Palopó, Guatemala, women spend much of their time cooking and primarily use wood fuel, which disproportionately exposes …

After the Paris Agreement: How India Can Use Climate Financing to Implement a Sustainable Clean Cookstove Program
… to explore the issues associated with biomass cookstoves in terms of both health and climate, and seeks to understand how a new national clean cookstove program could be funded in India. This includes potential partnerships with United States agencies, nonprofit organizations, and other …

The roles of education for sustainable development and Namibian youth in the advancement of sustainable household cooking energy
… (SDGs). However, in the last forty years of cookstove research and dissemination programs, adoption and sustained use have failed to meet expectations in low- and middle-income countries. Among the known barriers that limit adoption is effective communication. Rarely are all stakeholders …

Characterization of carbonaceous aerosols from biofuel combustion: emissions and climate relevant properties
… from different combustion activities. Improved cookstoves reduce emissions by eliminating formation of OC with high SSA, which occurs at low combustion efficiency. In the laboratory a large part of emission is missing for particles with greater SSA which generally produces under low combustion …

Multi-Scale Studies to Develop a Holistic Understanding of Solid Fuel Combustion at Residential Scale
… coal, and dung cakes, are burned in inefficient cookstoves. They generate products of incomplete combustion (PIC), such as CO, particulate matter (PM), and CH4, causing household air pollution (HAP) whose adverse impacts on both health and the environment have been well established.</p><p>HAP …

Development Of A Unified Approach (An Index) To Study The Particulate, Carbon Monoxide Emissions And The Combustion Efficiency Using Field And Laboratory Investigations
… to study the dose exposure relationships of the cookstoves. One major drawback in these studies was that they didn’t use the surface area of the particles emitted from the cookstoves. As it has been established in the previous studies, the ultrafine particles have more surface area and …

Sensor-Based Methods for Characterizing Technology Impact in Low-Resource Settings
… system is used to evaluate wheelchairs, improved cookstoves, and evaporative coolers. The wheelchair case study in Indonesia compares the performance of different wheelchairs ranging in cost from $100 to $300 and finds little variation between improved wheelchairs in frequency of use and distance …

Essays on cognition in development economics
… respondents' willingness to pay for an insulated cookstove and used random variation in ownership to estimate the causal effect of ownership on energy savings. We found that savings are quite large, willingness to pay is low and that household demand and realized savings are uncorrelated, which …

Development of sensor based evaluation methodologies for developing world products
… must be assessed. A biomass fueled improved cookstove case study is presented to explain these four stages and how they may be evaluated. In addition, a sensor based method and neural network based processing algorithm is presented as a cost-effective and accurate way to gauge adoption of …

Development and application of electrochemical dithiothreitol (DTT) assay for analysis of particulate matter
… against health data as part of the Honduras Cookstove Project, moving one step closer to directly connecting PM reactivity to health effects. Although the traditional absorbance DTT assay is the standard in assessing PM reactivity in air samples, and has been used for the last 15 years, the …

Multinational emission inventories for land-based nonroad engines and residential combustion
… scenarios were studied – cleanest current stove, cookstove standard, and fuel switching. An assumption is used people living in forest access areas will continue to use wood, so most of the emission change in the fuel switching scenario has the greatest effect in areas without forest access. This …

Analysis of households? modern energy deprivations beyond connections and access in the Northwest zone of Nigeria
… to stimulate large-scale uptake of improved cookstoves? Consequently, chapter 2 evaluates the causal impact of access to electricity on the profits of households' non-farm enterprises as a latent poverty reduction pathway. Applying the generalized propensity score and inverse probability …

Development and use of an integrated systems model to design technology strategies for energy services in rural developing communities
… programs to provide technologies such as biomass cookstoves or subsidize fuels such as LPG or electricity has often been limited. This is because an energy carrier or conversion technology is only a small component of a much larger energy system that includes a complex set of needs, constraints, …

Emissions from combustion technologies with a focus on brick making and in-home cooking
Emissions from seventy household stoves in Tibet and Nepal and thirteen brick kilns in South Asia were measured to quantify aerosol and gaseous pollutant emissions, including particulate matter (PM 2.5), carbon monoxide (CO), carbonaceous particles, and optical scattering and absorption. In …
