“…This scheme aims to provide LPG connections to 80 million poor households. The Government of India has designed the Clean India movement, or the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, with a massive investment of Rs 90 000 million during 2014‐2017 90 . Earlier, the government launched a number of programs, namely the Rajiv Gandhi Gramin LPG Vitaran Yojana (RGGLY), Pratyaksh Hanstantrit Labh (PAHAL), and Give it Up for promoting the use of CCF 91 .…”

This paper investigates the effects of household air pollution (HAP) on child stunting in India using a sample of 206, 898 under‐five children from the latest National Family Health Survey (2015‐16). Descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis were used to understand the association of stunting by type of cooking fuel, separate kitchen, and indoor smoking in the household. Using clean cooking fuels (CCFs), having a separate kitchen, and being unexposed to smoking can reduce the prevalence of stunting by 4%, 1%, and 1%, respectively, from the current prevalence of stunting (38%). The probability of childhood stunting among children living in households using unclean cooking fuel (UCF) was significantly higher (OR‐1.16; 95% CI: 1.13‐1.19) than those living in households using CCF. Findings were similar results in the absence of separate kitchen (OR‐1.08; 95% CI: 1.05‐1.10) and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (OR‐1.06; 95% CI: 1.04‐1.08). Households using UCF had a 16% higher likelihood of stunting, while there was a strong gradient of HAP with stunting after controlling socioeconomic and demographic factors. Therefore, the LPG programs, such as the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, may be crucial to reduce HAP and its adverse impact on stunting, and successively to achieve sustainable development goals.

“…Evidence from the sampled literature shows that the majority of the empirical studies have examined opportunities with cooking technologies [117] and how to support the provision and adoption of alternative and clean cooking technologies [e.g. 118,119]. Other studies have focused on traditional biomass such as charcoal [34] as this is a major fuel utilised in urban Africa.…”

“…Location has a significant effect on the type of cooking fuel adopted and differences are particularly evident between urban and rural areas [89,90]. Households located in rural areas are less interested in adopting cleaner fuels because of the easier access to alternative biomass sources that are cheaper, whereas in urban and suburban areas the rate of ICS adoption is considerably higher [14,37,91].…”

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

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.
