Improved cookstoves (ICS) can deliver "triple wins" by improving household health, local environments, and global climate. Yet their potential is in doubt because of low slow diffusion, likely constraints imposed differences culture, geography, institutions, missing markets. We offer insights about this challenge based on a multiyear, multiphase study with nearly 1,000 households the Indian Himalayas. In phase I, we combined desk reviews, simulations, focus groups to diagnose barriers ICS...
Despite the potential of improved cookstoves to reduce adverse environmental and health impacts solid fuel use, their adoption use remains low. Social marketing—with its focus on marketing mix promotion, product, price, place—offers a useful way understand household behaviors design campaigns change biomass use. We report series pilots across 3 Indian states that different combinations mix. find sales varying from 0% 60%. Behavior promotion combined door-to-door personalized demonstrations...
Deployment of improved biomass burning cookstoves is recognized as a black carbon (BC) mitigation measure that has the potential to achieve health benefits and climate cobenefits. Yet, few field based studies document BC concentration reductions (and resulting human exposure) from stove usage. In this paper, data are presented 277 real-world cooking sessions collected during two impacts on indoor concentrations inside village kitchens result switching traditional stoves forced draft (FD)...
Medication abortion (MA) may be accessed covertly in private pharmacies and clinics due to abortion-related stigma. Stigmatization lead information asymmetry, resulting price discrimination. The existing literature on Ghana has primarily focused factors associated with However, the potential variations MA cost have not been explored. Thus, we aim explore disparities based women's socio-demographic status Ghana. We used data from a study that recruited women who using mifepristone misoprostol...
Abstract The Indian agriculture sector is driven by small and marginal farmers employs two-thirds of the work force. Agriculture also accounts for around a quarter total greenhouse gas emissions, mainly in form methane (CH 4 ) nitrous oxide (N 2 O). Hence, an important India’s transition to net-zero emissions achievement sustainable development goals. So far, very few studies have assessed future trajectories CH N O from sector. Moreover, assessment mitigation potential at subnational...
With improved cookstoves (ICs) increasingly distributed to households for a range of air pollution interventions and carbon-credit programs, it has become necessary accurately monitor the duration cooking amount fuel consumed. In this study, laboratory trials were used create temperature-based algorithms quantifying estimating consumption from stove temperatures. Field validation employed Wireless Cookstove Sensing System (WiCS) that offers remote, low-cost temperature sensing wireless...
Because emissions from solid fuel burning in traditional stoves affect global climate change, the regional environment, and household health, there is a real fascination with improved cook (ICS). Surprisingly little known about what households like these energy products. This paper reports on preferences for ICS attributes sample of 2,120 rural north India, hotspot biomass use. Households have strong preference but average are willing to pay (WTP) $10 $5 realistic reductions smoke needs,...
This paper analyses the role that AFOLU (agriculture, forest and other land use) plays in national deep decarbonization scenarios Brazil, India Indonesia between 2020 2050. It finds LULUCF (land use, use change forestry) subsector is important for medium-term mitigation (2020–2030) while continuing to contribute over long-term (2030–2050) three countries. Mitigation actions include drastically reducing deforestation (Brazil, Indonesia) peat degradation (Indonesia), re-/afforestation (all),...
In India, coal-based electricity is a leading cause for greenhouse gas emissions. However, many uncertainties prevail in the emissions estimation from coal-fired plants due to dynamics of varying net calorific values (NCV) and carbon emission factors (CEF) associated with different grades coal coupled oxidation (COF) power plants. After 2012, major change Indian non-coking grading system along other developments like (a) rising efficiencies thermal plants, (b) changes quality mining at...
Recent studies have extensively discussed the integration of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) in existing energy systems to achieve net-zero emissions. India recently initiated a dioxide-based enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) project matured wells western India. Using this project, we propose bioenergy-CO2-EOR system study feasibility potential BECCS towards emissions from systems. We use mixed integer linear programming for CO2 source-sink matching. The proposed breaks even,...
<p>India is now the fourth largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG) in world with one highest growth-rate emissions. As a fast-growing major economy, its future emissions trajectory important for long-term global goal restricting temperature rise to “well below 2 ℃”, compared pre-industrial levels. In India, from methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) and nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O) account...
