“…As CS sample showed lower ignition temperature when compared with RH sample ignition temperature. This study is in agreement with the study performed on biomass and coal samples by [29]. Moreover, an ignition index (D) and combustion index (S) of the samples were calculated from the following equations [29].…”

“…However, with the swift progress in technology and increasing public environmental awareness, this problematic waste has turned out to be a popular focus of research for energy recovery [37], fuel production [38], electrodes in batteries and capacitors [39], catalyst [40], hydrogen storage [41] and adsorbent for pollutant sequestration [42].

“…In the sub-sample of households who both collect and purchase their own fuel, the savings due to the supplementary seasonal use of millet reeds in the household fuel mix are noticeable, resulting in a total fuel expenditure 66% lower than the one registered for the complementary share group (400 CFA francs/week against 1200 CFA francs/week). This promising opportunity was investigated deeper by the authors, who also studied the possible introduction of an original improved cookstove for the recovery of a locally available waste biomass (rice husk) [46] as a household fuel. In the sub-sample of "fuel purchaser", the fuel mix is more variegated.…”

Abstract:Field assessment plays a key role in the evaluation of the energy access modalities and of the socio-economic features that may influence the beneficiaries' choices and preferences in the adoption and use of an energy technology. This work presents the findings of a survey conducted during the implementation of a cooperation project in the Logone Valley (Chad/Cameroon). After an initial period of promotion of an improved cookstove (ICS), a survey was conducted that was aimed at identifying different beneficiary groups, matching their preferences and cooking habits to the technology proposed, in order to best tailor the scaling-up strategy. In-depth analysis of the data gathered identified two household-user behaviors and the relative influencing features: in the urban area, the increased adoption rates confirmed the appropriateness of the technology proposed and its sustainability, whereas in the rural area, ICS use was not perceived by the final users as advantageous and lower adoption rates were observed. Thus, due to the outcome of the survey, the project action was re-oriented in order to achieve a higher impact on the territory and on the population.
