“…To further provide insights into the laboratory-field gap and inform household energy intervention development, we compared the present field-based EFs with the laboratory-based database from Zhang et al (2000), which has been widely used for emission inventory development, clean intervention design, and health and climate impact analyses of residential solid fuels in developing countries. ,− As shown in Figure , much higher values and larger variations for most fuel–stove combinations in our field study were observed in comparison with those of the laboratory-based database. Taking fuel wood and coal briquettes in metal stoves with flues as examples, the field-based EFs of PM 2.5 presented in the current study were 5.35 ± 5.49 and 6.50 ± 6.48 g/kg, respectively, which were 1.31 and 38.0 times higher in their values and were 2.77 and 5.54 times higher in their relative deviations.…”

The residential sector is a major source of air pollutant emission inventory uncertainties. A nationwide field emission measurement campaign was conducted in rural China to evaluate the variabilities of realistic emission factors (EFs) from indoor solid fuel combustion. For a total of 1313 burning events, the overall average EFs (±standard deviation) of PM2.5 were 8.93 ± 6.95 and 7.33 ± 9.01 g/kg for biomass and coals, respectively, and 89.3 ± 51.2 and 114 ± 87 g/kg for CO. Higher EFs were found from burning of uncompressed straws, while lower EFs were found from processed biomass pellets, coal briquettes, and relatively clean anthracite coals. Modified combustion efficiency was found to be the most significant factor associated with variations in CO EFs, whereas for PM2.5, fuel and stove differences determined its variations. Weak correlations between PM2.5 and CO indicated high uncertainties in using CO as a surrogate for PM2.5. EFs accurately fit log-normal distributions, and obvious spatial heterogeneity was observed attributed to different fuel–stove combinations across the country. Emission estimation variabilities, which are determined by the interquartile ranges divided by the median values, were notably reduced when spatially resolved EFs were adopted in the inventory.

“…Besides environmental risks, these products of combustion pose significant health risks such as lung cancer and acute conditions, hypertension, and premature deaths. Advanced solid fuel cookers aimed at improving combustion were investigated in the studies [28,42,[51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. Gutierrez, Chica, and Perez [59] parametrically analyzed a gasification-based cooker.…”

About 3 billion people use conventional carbon-based fuels such as wood, charcoal, and animal dung for their daily cooking needs. Cooking with biomass causes deforestation and habitat loss, emissions of greenhouse gases, and smoke pollution that affects people’s health and well-being. Hydrogen can play a role in enabling clean and safe cooking by reducing household air pollution and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This first-of-a-kind review study on cooking with hydrogen assessed existing cooking technologies and hydrogen systems in developing country contexts. Our critical assessment also included the modelling and experimental studies on hydrogen. Renewable hydrogen systems and their adoptability in developing countries were analysed. Finally, we presented a scenario for hydrogen production pathways in developing countries. Our findings indicated that hydrogen is attractive and can be safely used as a cooking fuel. However, radical and disruptive models are necessary to transform the traditional cooking landscape. There is a need to develop global south-based hydrogen models that emphasize adoptability and capture the challenges in developing countries. In addition, the techno-economic assumptions of the models vary significantly, leading to a wide-ranging levelized cost of electricity. This finding underscored the necessity to use comprehensive techno-economic assumptions that can accurately predict hydrogen costs.

“…In the TLUD type design, solid fuel is put into the burning chamber in batches from the top and formed a charcoal bed, then it is burned, and pyrolysis occurs below it. Air enters through the bottom (primary air) [8,9] and partially oxidizes the solid fuel results in syngas and a secondary air from the top to complete syngas' combustion process. Roth [12] explains that the combustible gas produce moves upward because of the pressure difference between the gasification zone and the combustion zone.…”

“…A poor cookstove design causing incomplete combustion process, which results in increased carbon monoxide (CO) and harmful particles causing damage to the respiratory system. Current research of briquette cookstoves [9,14,16] focuses on improving its performance and reducing emissions and particulate matter. Briquette cookstove design could vary in every country because of customer's behavior.…”

Poor cookstove design can harm the user's health and environment. This research aims to obtain an efficient cookstove design, environmentally friendly and operated easily. The cookstove design process using a combination of QFD and TRIZ. QFD able to capture customer needs through a questionnaire and interview. The data collected then processed to build a House of Quality (HoQ), one of the tools in QFD. QFD results in the design parameter of the briquette cookstove, which is incorporated in the concept design. The TRIZ method is utilized to understand the problem that might occur in the concept design and focus on solving the root causes. The next step is a detailed design where the dimensions, combustion chamber capacity, and supporting features are explained. The combination of QFD and TRIZ result in a briquette cookstove concept design which is easy to clean and operate. The combustion system is Top-lit Up-Draft (TLUD). The burning chamber has two air inlets, namely primary and secondary. The primary air inlet supplies the air from the bottom of the burning chamber, partially burns the briquette, and produces flue gas. The secondary air inlet is in the shape of an oval to supply air in the burning chamber's upper part to burn the flue gas completely. A complete combustion process will increase combustion efficiency and reduce emissions. A computational simulation shows the velocity distribution inside the burning chamber.
