| Summary: | The growing interest in clean cooking,
with its potential benefits for human health, environmental
protection, and climate change, has prompted development
specialists to reconsider the quality and performance of
cook stoves. Governments, donors, and development
organizations want to ensure that the cook stoves they
promote meet standards that will yield the greatest possible
benefits over time, when adopted and used properly.
Households need to understand differences in cook stove
performance if they are to select those that represent the
best value for money. In this context, the report presents
problems of traditional cook stoves; benefits of
fuel-efficient cook stoves; potential benefits of advanced
combustion cook stoves; and can cook stove performance be measured? |
