“…Studies on power consumption in rural areas have found that, with the improvement of rural living standards, energy consumption increases and electricity consumption also shows a rising trend (Tesfamichael et al 2020;Agrawal et al 2020). The increase of per capita income makes the transformation of rural energy use to commercialization (Asmare et al 2021).…”

In order to find the model of rural energy transformation in Henan Province. This paper examines the effects of population, per capita income, total value of agricultural output, per capita housing area, electric motor power, total power of rural durable goods on rural power consumption (PC) and effective irrigation area, per capita housing area, total power of agricultural machinery, total value of agricultural output, rural population, and energy intensity on rural total energy consumption (TEC) employing Tapio decoupling model. In addition, PSO-BOP is used to predict the values of each influencing factor in 2020-2025. Last, the STIRPAT model is used to forecast TEC and PC from 2020-2025 based on the data of rural energy consumption in Henan Province from 2009-2019. The results show that other factors besides population promote TEC and PC to different degrees. Moreover, the influencing factors, TEC and PC form a virtuous cycle of mutual promotion. Then, TEC and PC consumption show an increasing trend year by year in 2020-2025. It is worth noting that after 2022, the variation of PC is greater than that of TEC. To sum up, improving rural electrification level is a necessary way to realize its low-carbon energy transition.

“…In addition to the research on rural household energy consumption, many scholars have discussed the optimization of rural household energy structure from the supply side (Johnson and Bryden, 2012;Ye and Zhao, 2014;Agrawala et al, 2020;Pelz, 2020). Pelz (Pelz, 2020) believed that spatial heterogeneity was an important factor which affecting the energy supply side reform of rural households.…”

“…Ye et al (Ye and Zhao, 2014) investigated the rural electricity consumption in Heilongjiang and pointed out that the use of efficient crop straw energy utilization technology could improve the effective heat supply rate of crop straw. Based on survey data in rural India, Sa et al (Agrawala et al, 2020) concluded that insufficient power supply from the grid was the main reason for the low level of electricity consumption in rural area. In order to solve the current situation of insufficient energy demand, Johnson et al (Johnson and Bryden, 2012) applied energy supply side reform to rural households, which in low-and middleincome countries.…”

To solve the problem of large carbon emissions in rural area, this paper conducts field research in rural areas of Shandong and embarks on supply-demand bilateral energy structure optimization which combines local resource endowments, the latest rural energy application technologies and energy consumption preference. The study uses long-range energy alternatives planning (LEAP) model to analyze the trend of energy consumption and CO2 emission from 2020 to 2050 under four different scenarios. The results of Tanzhuang show that residents in rural areas still rely on traditional biomass for energy consumption, especially for winter heating. Energy structure optimization has a significant impact on energy saving and emission reduction. Energy consumption and generation are projected steadily up to 2050 under all scenarios while the carbon emissions show a downward trend with a rapid decline from 2021 to 2030 and a relatively stable state for the next 20 years. Combining policy advancement and marginal carbon abatement cost (MACC) of different energy technologies, energy structure optimization-low cost (ESO-LOW) scenario shows a higher emission reduction benefits than the others. Six other villages in Shandong are analyzed in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of supply-demand bilateral energy structure optimization, sensitivity results show that the optimization is significant to the carbon neutrality target and carbon emission reduction.

“…These types of targeted and sustained subsidies may be applicable to other fuel types, including biogas, ethanol, and electricity. Unlike LPG, however, each of these alternate solutions face substantial challenges: biogas has high capital costs, requires regular maintenance, may leak methane, and may not be geographically or culturally appropriate [16]; ethanol supply chains are under-developed to provide the fuel at scale [17,18]; and electricity, while an ideal solution when from renewable sources, is often insufficient in supply for cooking [17,[19][20][21][22]. Given these constraints, LPG has emerged as the most likely candidate clean fuel to meaningfully address the health and climate harms of biomass cooking at scale globally.…”

In praise of cooking gas subsidies: transitional fuels to advance health and equity ^*

Households that burn biomass in inefficient open fires – a practice that results in $1.6 trillion in global damages from health impacts and climate-altering emissions yearly – are often unable to access cleaner alternatives, like gas, which is widely available but unaffordable, or electricity, which is unattainable for many due to insufficient supply and reliability of electricity services. Governments are often reluctant to make gas affordable. We argue that condemnation of all fossil fuel subsidies is short-sighted and does not adequately consider subsidizing gas for cooking as a potential strategy to improve public health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
