“…While there has not been a lot of success in sustained replacement of traditional stoves with improved clean-burning stoves (e.g. Foell et al, 2011;Pine et al, 2011;Ruiz-Mercado et al, 2011;Wickramasinghe, 2011), it is important to consider the varying level of implementation across the regions if such information is available. As with the allocation of fuel use (see discussion above), we rely on data and assessments collected within several bilateral projects (e.g.…”

“…For Latin America, information about this sector structure originates from discussions with the authors of various assessments of effectiveness of clean-cooking programmes (e.g. Pine et al, 2011;Ruiz-Mercado et al, 2011) as well as the data collected within the CCAC (Climate and Clean Air Coalition) and UNEP-supported Integrated Assessment of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants in Latin America and Caribbean http://www.ccacoalition.org/en/resources/integratedassessment-short-lived-climate-pollutants; 5 (final report is in preparation for publication; see summary for policy makers). The ratio of cooking to heating is assumed constant in the 1990-2010 period as we have not found any data allowing for that assumption to be changed.…”

Global anthropogenic emissions of particulate matter including black carbon

et al. 2017

Abstract. This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of historical global anthropogenic particulate matter (PM) emissions including the consistent and harmonized calculation of mass-based size distribution (PM 1 , PM 2.5 , PM 10 ), as well as primary carbonaceous aerosols including black carbon (BC) and organic carbon (OC). The estimates were developed with the integrated assessment model GAINS, where source-and region-specific technology characteristics are explicitly included. This assessment includes a number of previously unaccounted or often misallocated emission sources, i.e. kerosene lamps, gas flaring, diesel generators, refuse burning; some of them were reported in the past for selected regions or in the context of a particular pollutant or sector but not included as part of a total estimate. Spatially, emissions were calculated for 172 source regions (as well as international shipping), presented for 25 global regions, and allocated to 0.5 • × 0.5 • longitude-latitude grids. No independent estimates of emissions from forest fires and savannah burning are provided and neither windblown dust nor unpaved roads emissions are included.We estimate that global emissions of PM have not changed significantly between 1990 and 2010, showing a strong decoupling from the global increase in energy consumption and, consequently, CO 2 emissions, but there are significantly different regional trends, with a particularly strong increase in East Asia and Africa and a strong decline in Europe, North America, and the Pacific region. This in turn resulted in important changes in the spatial pattern of PM burden, e.g. European, North American, and Pacific contributions to global emissions dropped from nearly 30 % in 1990 to well below 15 % in 2010, while Asia's contribution grew from just over 50 % to nearly two-thirds of the global total in 2010. For all PM species considered, Asian sources represented over 60 % of the global anthropogenic total, and residential combustion was the most important sector, contributing about 60 % for BC and OC, 45 % for PM 2.5 , and less than 40 % for PM 10 , where large combustion sources and industrial processes are equally important. Global anthropogenic emissions of BC were estimated at about 6.6 and 7.2 Tg in 2000 and 2010, respectively, and represent about 15 % of PM 2.5 but for some sources reach nearly 50 %, i.e. for the transport sector. Our global BC numbers are higher than previously published owing primarily to the inclusion of new sources.This PM estimate fills the gap in emission data and emission source characterization required in air quality and climate modelling studies and health impact assessments at a regional and global level, as it includes both carbonaceous and non-carbonaceous constituents of primary particulate matter emissions. The developed emission dataset has been used in several regional and global atmospheric transport and climate model simulations within the ECLIPSE (Evaluating the Climate and Air Quality Impacts of Short-Lived Pollutants) project and beyo...

“…Another obstacle to the valid assessment of exposure-response relationships, and hence a more accurate estimate of predicted health benefits resulting from stove interventions and dissemination efforts, rests within our inability to identify enablers and barriers to cleaner-burning cookstove uptake and sustained use over time [32,57,58]. Behavior change is difficult to predict and measure in any public health scenario.…”

Perspectives in Household Air Pollution Research: Who Will Benefit from Interventions?

Household air pollution from solid fuel combustion in inefficient and poorly vented cookstoves is estimated to be responsible for 3.9 million premature deaths per year and 4.8 % of the global burden of disease, making it the third leading risk factor for morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite increasing recognition surrounding this global environmental health problem, much remains to be elucidated regarding exposure response relationships, particularly among potentially susceptible population subgroups. Given that many of the communities most affected by household air pollution exposures also experience elevated exposures to poverty, psychosocial stressors, other environmental pollutants, and comorbid conditions, research needs to correctly specify risks due to these potentially interacting risk factors. Although suggestive evidence exists for differential improvements in health following reductions in ambient air pollution concentrations among specific subgroups, the question remains as to who will benefit and to what extent from efforts to reduce exposures to emissions from household solid fuel combustion. The ability to know what to expect from cookstove interventions and to accurately describe the presence of distinct subgroup responses is crucial to reduce uncertainty and to encourage policy makers to enact change.

“…Hundreds of improved cookstove projects have been implemented since then with the rationale for implementing such cookstove projects shifting from focusing on relieving pressure on biomass resources to the combination of development and environmental benefits that can be generated (e.g., Bailis et al 2005, Elias and Victor 2005, Hutton et al 2006, Smith and Haigler 2008, Simon et al 2012, some more successful than others. There also now exists extensive literature about various aspects of cookstoves including: estimation of both development and environmental benefits (e.g., Mehta and Shahpar 2004, Hutton et al 2006, Smith and Haigler 2008, scientific analysis of aerosol emissions (e.g., Zhang et al 2000, Roden et al 2006, Jetter and Kariher 2009, impacts on health (e.g., Bruce et al 2000, Smith et al 2000a, Smith et al 2009b, critical analysis of project implementation (e.g., Smith et al 1993, Hanbar and Karve 2002, Sinton et al 2004, Bumpus 2009, Troncoso et al 2011, analysis of diffusion business models (e.g., Shrimali et al 2011, Zerriffi 2011, Chaurey et al 2012, and factors influencing adoption of new technologies (e.g., Bailis et al 2009, Pine et al 2011, RuizMercado et al 2011, Wickramasignhe et al 2011.…”

Carbon credits for cookstoves: Trade-offs in climate and health benefits

Cookstove projects have long been considered “win–win” development projects based on the multitude of benefits they can create. Carbon credits provide a new financing mechanism to fund such cookstove projects, but have been criticized as not always successfully meeting sustainable development goals. By drawing on previous literature this article critically looks at trade-offs between the maximization of climate and health benefits of cookstove projects in the context of carbon credits. It finds that carbon credits inherently account for climate benefits, but not for health. Therefore, clear objectives of cookstove interventions need to be defined prior to project implementation to insure the maximization of benefits in projects’ priority areas.
