“…Furthermore, the effect of this transition on the COPD burden, especially among women in South Asia, remains unclear and warrants further evaluation. 67 More specific approaches are required to understand the role of various indoor air pollutants, such as particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, polycyclic organic matter and formaldehyde which are produced by combustion of biomass fuels, in the development of COPD and chronic bronchitis. 68 , 69 …”

“…Bioethanol is among the few fuels used for cooking that have the potential for positive health [3], climate and environmental benefits [4], gender equality [5], increased employment opportunity, earnings, time, and fuel saving impacts [6], alongside other wider economic and welfare implications. However, despite this wide range of known benefits, until recently, bioethanol has remained relatively unexplored by researchers and policymakers.…”

“…The most extensive evidence on improved and/or clean fuels and stove technologies for cooking is in household transitions from using solid biomass (including firewood and charcoal) in traditional stoves to improved fuels and stove technologies [3,[8][9][10]. More recent studies have focused on transitions to modern/clean cooking fuels such as LPG, biogas, and electricity [5,11].…”

“…Cooking with open fires has harmful effects on health due to both household air pollution (HAP) and the physical effects of fuel collection. HAP causes or exacerbates a wide range of conditions, including ischemic heart disease (IHD), stroke, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults, and acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) in children [3,8,13], with greater risks among poor populations [14]. Additionally, because of women's role in cooking and caring for children in Sub-Saharan Africa, they are highly exposed to the pollutants/particles produced from incomplete combustion, leading to respiratory and eye disorders and a high incidence of death, approximated at 1.6 million/year [15].…”

The use of bioethanol in cooking is not new, but until recently its application has been confined exclusively to small scale projects. However, a new bioethanol cooking utility in Kenya has now reached mass market adoption, serving more than 950,000 households with cooking fuel since launching in late 2019. Its success was made possible by a significant investment in technology to facilitate safe, convenient and affordable fuel distribution. It is funded by climate finance which is based on bioethanol fuel replacing charcoal used for cooking, a leading cause of African defor-estation. This development has been so recent that it has not widely been discussed in the academic literature. More broadly, the health, environmental and economic impacts of bioethanol for cooking have not been systematically assembled in one place. This article details what is known about the impact of bioethanol for cooking, how and why bioethanol for cooking was able to suddenly reach commercially viable scale in spite of the challenges it faced. It also discusses implications for further scaling of clean cooking fuel solutions.

“…27 In the case of the United States and Japan, the proportion of households using electricity was 63% and 30.1%, respectively, in 2015. 28,29 Comparatively, the proportion of households using electricity in Korea is relatively small. It appears that there may be barriers Note: We adopted the categories proposed by Kowsari and Zerriffi.…”

Motivating people to adopt electricity management system based on push–pull–mooring model

With growing concerns about power and environment issues, smart grid technology, such as meter data management systems, can be viewed as a great solution to handle issues of the environment and energy efficiency. Based on the push–pull–mooring (PPM) model, this research views dissatisfaction, personal innovativeness, information quality, locatability, economic benefits, and perceived value as predictors to examine their impact on switch intention to an electricity management system. The analysis results display that dissatisfaction has no significant effect on switch intention. As a mooring variable, personal innovativeness not only influences switch intention positively, but also moderates the relationship between perceived value and switch intention. Moreover, through perceived value, locatability and economic benefits influence switch intention positively. This research fills the gap in government policies as well as energy companies and provides ponderable suggestions if a government and energy companies would like to change citizens’ behavior from paper-based bill to electricity management system. The government and energy companies should not overlook the effect of personal innovativeness and perceived value and put more effort to publicize the advantages of locatability and economic benefits.
