Title: Biomass Cookstoves Technical Meeting. Summary Report

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1219156· OSTI ID:1219156

In regions where biomass is a traditional fuel for cooking, improved cookstoves can enhance indoor air quality, personal health, livelihoods, and the environment—while substantially reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Although ongoing efforts have successfully disseminated improved stoves that achieve many of these benefits, substantially greater emissions reductions are needed to comply with international guidelines for indoor air quality and to limit GHG emissions like black carbon.
