| description |
More than 90 percent of total household
energy used in rural Cambodia comes from wood and charcoal,
which will continue to be the primary energy source for many
more years, especially for poorer people. Faced with this
reality, it is clear that simple and affordable solutions to
the problems associated with burning wood and charcoal
should be addressed. One obvious solution is the production
and wide dissemination of more efficient stoves, which can
cut fuel consumption in half. The new, improved cook stoves
are based on traditional stove models, but both are more
efficient due to three main improvements in design: 1) the
space between the pot and the pot-rest is reduced, 2) the
grate has smaller holes, and 3) the combustion chamber is
smaller. The effect is better combustion with less heat
loss, a more complete burning of wood, and also less smoke.
There are two models of improved cook stoves: the Neang
Kongrey stove and the New Lao stove. The Neang Kongrey is a
simple ceramic cook stove that sells for about $1.25 and
lasts for 1-2 years. The New Lao Stove has metal cladding
and insulation that adds at least two years to the
stove's lifetime and increases its cost to about $4. |
