A Study on the Performance and CO2 Mitigation Potential of an Advanced Micro-gasifier Cookstoves for Sustainable Development

Development and performance analysis of top lit updraft: natural draft gasifier stoves with various feed stocks

“…Biomass fuels are the world's fourth main energy source, accounting for 13% of the total energy supply (Waldheim and WALDHEIM, 2018), with a particularly high share in developing nations. In developing nations like Ethiopia, where biomass combustion accounts for 91% of its primary energy output (Mondal et al, 2018), biomass combustion supplies basic energy requirements for cooking and heating rural families, as well as processes in a range of traditional industries (Yurnaidi and Kim 2018) (D. Sakthivadivel, P. Ganesh Kumar, G. Praveen Kumar, P. Raman, Ranko Goic, 2020). In Sub-Saharan Africa, one of the options to satisfy the household energy demand is to sustainably use fuelwood for cooking (Hafner et al, 2020).…”
