Current challenges and future prospect of biomass cooking and heating stoves in Asian Countries

Abstract: The utilization of biomass for cooking and heating is old, occurring from the early stages of human evolution because of its wide and easy availability. In Asia, a majority of the population is dependent on solid biomass for cooking and heating applications. Biomass cookstove produces emissions like carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) which are dependent on the classifications and characteristics of fuel used in stoves. These emissions trigger many health risk… Show more

“…The performance evaluation of biomass cook stove involves monitoring the various factors related to its efficiency, gas emissions, safety, and overall effectiveness [3,18,19,[24][25][26]. Performance analysis of Cook stove involves a combination of laboratory testing, field trials, and user surveys.…”

“…According to the Global Burden of Disease 2010 evaluation, household air pollution caused by solid cooking fuels caused approximately 1.04 million premature deaths and 31.4 million disability-adjusted life years in India [8,9] accounting for 6% of the national burden of disease. National exposuremodels developed for solid fuel-using households estimate daily average PM 2.5(particulate matter less than 2.5 lm inaerodynamic diameter) exposures of 337, 204, and 285 l g/m 3 for women, men, and children, respectively [10][11][12], far exceeding the current WHO air quality guideline (WHO-AQG) values (WHO 2006). Since dealing with solid biofuel for cooking is inconvenient, some people prefer the electric cook stoves and LPG, but these are more costly alternatives [9,11,13].…”

“…To this effect, almost half of the global population and over 80% of Africa's households are currently using traditional biomass, particularly firewood and charcoal, a cooking fuel source (FAO, 2019;Sola et al, 2017). This evidences the increased importance of biomass as a cooking energy source in most communities of Africa and the entire developing world (Ahmad et al, 2022;Kyayesimira et al, 2021). Most of the biomass used to produce energy for cooking is obtained from forest trees which is then dried to produce quality firewood, or burnt into charcoal (Langbein et al, 2017).…”

“…More research into other potential forms of biomass that could replace wood fuel for cooking energy generation has spotted agricultural wastes (Ahmad et al, 2022). Fortunately, there is an abundance of agricultural wastes in Uganda and these have been reported as a potential reliable cooking energy source, which, if embraced could act as a means of saving the forest resources (Mugabi & Kisakye, 2021).…”
