“…The related literature documents determinants of access to clean cooking fuels and technologies at the micro or household level, and this includes household income, gender of the household head, fuel prices, household head's educational level, and household size. 13,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Okereke et al 27 in their study on factors that facilitate transitioning to clean cooking fuel (LPG), found that household size, membership in cooperative societies, gender, and education, significantly influence the transition to clean cooking fuels. At the macrolevel involving countries in SSA, most studies focus on access to electricity as a proxy for clean cooking fuels.…”

Clean cooking fuels and technologies remain essential in addressing the climate crises, environmental degradation, deforestation, air pollution, health complications, and poverty. Nevertheless, many countries in Africa lack access to clean fuels and technologies for cooking. The extant literature remains scarce on the determinants of clean cooking fuels and technologies using macroeconomic indicators covering many African countries in a single study. This article addresses this gap using panel data from 38 African countries. The paper shows that rural population, particulate matter emission, and natural resources depletion significantly decreased access to clean cooking fuels and technologies in the long run while the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita significantly increased access to clean cooking fuels and technologies in the long run in Africa. The results show a bi‐causal relationship between clean cooking fuels and technologies and rural population, GDP per capita, natural resource depletion, and particulate emissions damage. Understanding the determinants of clean cooking fuels and technologies will expand insights into addressing challenges associated with particulate emission damages. Governments in Africa should target improvements in GDP per capita, promote advocacies, and advocate for investments to address the limited access to clean cooking fuels and technologies, particularly for the rural poor.
