Methods for particulate matter emissions reduction in wood burning cookstoves
About 3 billion people cook by burning biomass. Most use inefficient cooking technologies that lead to high levels of domestic air pollution. This results in tremendous damages to human and environmental health. For example, in 2012 the World Health Organization estimated that 4.3 million people …

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, …

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 …

An Evaluation of Household Energy Systems in the Himalayan Region
Biomass cookstoves are prevalent in rural areas in developing countries around the world. The smoke from biomass burning results in high levels of household air pollution, which cause respiratory and pulmonary diseases. While many improved stoves have been developed to increase cooking efficiency …

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 …

Measurements that fill gaps in emission inventories: gas flares, household biomass stoves, and brick kilns
The purpose of this body of work is to fill gaps in emission inventories that in turn serve as inputs to global climate models. Emissions of aerosols are a focus because they can vary by orders of magnitude even for the same fuel, making field emissions measurements necessary. Three sources were …
