“…In fact, increasing evidence from a growing number of low-and middle-income countries shows that households consume a range of energy sources spanning different points on the energy ladder. When households adopt a new fuel, they do not forego using the old but, rather, often tend to stack [24]. Culture and individual preferences influence the choice of cooking fuel.…”

Abstract:The present study aims to explore economic and socio-demographic factors that influence a household's probability to switch from firewood to cleaner fuels (kerosene and LPG) in northern Cameroon. The paper employs an ordered probit model to construct cooking patterns and fuel choices. Three main cooking sources are considered: firewood, kerosene, and liquefied petroleum gas. Utilized data are derived from a national survey conducted in 2004 by the Cameroonian National Institute of Statistics. The study analyzes the data related to the Sudano-Sahelian agro-ecological zone, which is one of the most affected by land degradation and decertification. While results indicate that there is a potential for a transition from traditional to cleaner fuels in the studied region, this transition is still in its earlier stage. The research demonstrates that firewood and kerosene prices, age of household heads, educational level of household heads and willingness to have a gas cylinder, as well as type of dwelling have a statistically significant impact on fuel-switching decisions.

“…El gas licuado de petróleo (GLP) es un combustible utilizado para aplicaciones residenciales, comerciales e industriales [1,2], y en el Ecuador el consumo de este hidrocarburo es muy frecuente, por lo que para el sector residencial el Gobierno nacional ha previsto un precio subsidiado [3,4], ya que brinda varias ventajas entre las que se pueden mencionar [5][6][7][8]:…”

Para realizar instalaciones residenciales, comerciales e industriales de gas licuado de petróleo (GLP) en el Ecuador, rige la norma técnica ecuatoriana INEN 2260:2010, la cual establece los lineamientos mínimos de seguridad que se deben tener en cuenta en este tipo de instalaciones. Para conducir este hidrocarburo, la norma acepta varios materiales de tuberías, métodos de unión con accesorios, formas de instalación, lo que hace que el responsable del dimensionamiento y planeación de este tipo de sistemas tenga varias opciones para escoger al momento de encaminar un proyecto determinado. El presente trabajo muestra algunos factores que inciden en la selección de la tubería más adecuada para sistemas de GLP, cumpliendo con la norma técnica obligatoria en el Ecuador. Se compara la resistencia a la tracción, dureza y peso como propiedades de los materiales aceptados; tiempos de ejecución de uniones entre tuberías y accesorios y, finalmente, se comparan los costos asociados a los materiales, mano de obra y mantenimiento que debe darse a estos sistemas.

“…For instance, in 2012 the government banned cars and vehicles used in mining and plantation operations from buying subsidised fuel. In 2007, it introduced a gas conversion programme to reduce the burden imposed by subsidies to diesel and petrol, involving the development of natural gas infrastructures as well as the distribution of free gas converter kits for public transportation (Andadari et al, 2014). This kerosene-to-liquefied natural gas programme should be expanded, as gas is abundant and cleaner.…”
