| Summary: | This report addresses the need to
increase market penetration of clean stoves with the end
goal of reducing household air pollution and the associated
disease burden as well as to reduce nonrenewable biomass
fuel consumption. The first step in this goal is identifying
suitable cleaner cooking technologies for the Ugandan
market. A second step is ensuring that the cleaner cooking
technologies are adopted to materialize reductions in indoor
air pollution and biomass fuel consumption. A third step is
to find suitable models and marketing strategies to
introduce these technologies into households. A final step
is ensuring that these technologies are adopted in the long
term or are replaced by cleaner technologies. The different
intervention stove models presented important differences in
fuel savings and willingness to pay (WTP). The WTP estimates
are based on actual demand for stoves under the experiment
conditions. The Becker-deGroot-Marschak method failed to
capture accurate demand estimates and WTA estimates do not
reflect the population’s purchase capacity. Hence, the
actual purchase stoves’ using randomized prices was used to
more accurately measure demand. |
