“…Conversely, the intention to adopt ICS decreases when households have free access to free fuelwood (e.g., when located near to a forest) [59]. Other studies did not find a significant relationship between fuel availability and intention to adopt ICS [14,74], According to research conducted in rural Mexico, difficult access to firewood is not a driver of ICS adoption, even though ICS could more than halve the requirement for firewood [74].…”

“…• Household composition [4,8,15,29,33,34,37,40,65,70,71,74,[96][97][98] Household size has a negative effect on ICS adoption because ICS are perceived as too small for large families. Abundant labor force to collect fuel also reduces the intention to adopt ICS, while the number of children can increase ICS adoption.…”

Drivers and Barriers to Clean Cooking: A Systematic Literature Review from a Consumer Behavior Perspective

2018

A lack of access to clean energy and use of traditional cooking systems have severe negative effects on health, especially among women and children, and on the environment. Despite increasing attention toward this topic, few studies have explored the factors influencing consumers’ adoption of improved cooking stoves (ICS). This systematic literature review (n = 81) aims to identify the main drivers and barriers to clean cooking from a consumer perspective. In addition, it aims to define how consumers perceive ICS with respect to traditional stoves. Thematic analysis revealed seven factors that may act as drivers or barriers to ICS adoption: economic factors; socio-demographics; fuel availability; attitude toward technology; awareness of the risks of traditional cookstoves and the benefits of ICS; location; and social and cultural influences. Perceptions focused on four topics: convenience and uses, aesthetics, health-related impacts, and environmental impacts. This review contributes to understanding of consumer behavior with regards to ICS. The findings suggest that availability and affordability of technology are not enough to enhance ICS adoption. Rather, policy makers and managers should approach customers with a less technical and a more personalized approach that takes due consideration of a local context and its social and cultural dynamics.

“…Published works of some researchers relate to the sequence from the traditional to improved stoves, generally to the estimation of performance using WBT, KPT, and CCT tests [3-5,7-9]. A few researchers have worked on the quantification of the emissions [10][11][12][13], selection of fuels [7, [14][15][16] and a few others have explicitly undertaken numerical and simulation analysis using CFD [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Sulilatu and Krist-Spit [25] have established the Tamilnadu metal stove for cooking for school children.…”

In this article, an attempt has been made to design a new updraft fixed bed advanced microgasifier cookstove (ACS). The newly developed ACS stove has been tested with a Tamarind seed pellet as fuel. Results have been analyzed in terms of energy and exergy efficiency, emissions and economics (4E). The testing practice adopted for evaluation of the performance of the ACS stove is as per the standard protocol WBT 4.2.3. The energy efficiency of an advanced cookstove was found to be 35% and the exergy efficiency of 17.3%. Experiments have also been performed to provide data for investigation of the emission characteristics of the new stove. Eventually, the simple payback period has been determined as 2 months for four members of a family. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 1901–1907, 2018

“…Improved cookstoves are aimed at reducing indoor air pollution, firewood consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (Troncoso et al, 2013;Venkataraman et al, 2010). The system installed in Pucara has a combustion chamber where efficient firewood combustion takes place, with three cookers and a chimney to channel the smoke outdoors.…”

Autonomous systems based on the use of renewable energy (RE) have proven suitable for providing energy and sanitation services to isolated communities. However, most of these projects fail due to managerial weaknesses. In these systems, designing an appropriate management model is a key issue for sustainability and it is especially complex if it has to include different RE technologies. This paper is aimed developing a novel management model for RE projects to provide energy and sanitation services able to deal with any kind of technology. Moreover, a new method to evaluate the sustainability is proposed regarding the technical, the economic, the social/ethical, the environmental and the institutional/organizational dimension. In particular, the case study of Pucara (Peru) is presented, in which a RE project with six different technologies was implemented and the integral community management model was designed in 2011. The project sustainability was evaluated in 2013 and results showed the management model has succeeded to strengthen the sustainability of the project, especially in the institutional/organizational aspects.
