  • Clean Data for Cleaner Cookstoves

    December 3, 2013 Editor 0

    Globally, slightly fewer than 3 billion people cook their daily meals on inefficient devices fueled by charcoal or firewood. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change estimates that only 10 percent of the energy in the fuel is utilized to cook, so much more fuel is consumed than is needed. In addition, the low combustion temperature in the inefficient technologies results in only partial combustion of the fuel, releasing particulate and carbon monoxide emissions, among other pollutants.
