“If you have light, your heart will be at peace”
Background: Expanding electrification and access to other clean and affordable energy, such as solar energy, is a critical component of the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where 70% of people are energy insecure. Intervention trials related to access or less polluting household energy alternatives have typically focused on air quality and biological outcomes rather than on how an intervention affects the end user…
Reduction potentials for particulate emissions from household energy in India
Household access to clean energy is a priority for public health and the environment in low- and middle-income countries. However, past illustrative studies have explored benefits of replacing all polluting energy sources, a transition that is only theoretically possible. Factors that limit achievement of the entire theoretical reduction potential should be explored to inform programmatic decision making. We propose a hierarchy of reduction poten…
Use, cost-effectiveness, and end user perspectives of a home solar lighting intervention in rural Uganda
Energy poverty is prevalent in resource-limited settings, leading households to use inefficient fuels and appliances that contribute to household air pollution. Randomized controlled trials of household energy interventions in low and middle income countries have largely focused on cooking services. Less is known about the adoption and impact of clean lighting interventions. We conducted an explanatory sequential mixed methods study as part of a …
A complete transition to clean household energy can save one–quarter of the healthy life lost to particulate matter pollution exposure in India
Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is a leading contributor to the disease burden in India, largely due to widespread household solid fuel use. The transition from solid to clean fuels in households has the potential to substantially improve public health. India has implemented large initiatives to promote clean fuel access, but how these initiatives will reduce PM 2.5 exposure and the associated health benefits have not yet been estab…
Seasonal fuel consumption, stoves, and end-uses in rural households of the far-western development region of Nepal
Understanding how fuels and stoves are used to meet a diversity of household needs is an important step in addressing the factors leading to continued reliance on polluting devices, and thereby improving household energy programs. In Nepal and many other countries dependent on solid fuel, efforts to mitigate the impacts of residential solid fuel use have emphasized cooking while focusing less on other solid fuel dependent end-uses. We employed a …
Kerosene subsidies for household lighting in India
Kerosene subsidy reform is a key policy concern in India and other developing countries. As kerosene is widely used for lighting in India, any price change will likely have considerable public welfare impacts on the large fraction of the poor who do not have access to reliable electricity supply for lighting. In this study, we assess historic kerosene use for residential lighting across population groups separated by urban/rural, expenditure, and…
Kerosene
Kerosene has been an important household fuel since the mid-19th century. In developed countries its use has greatly declined because of electrification. However, in developing countries, kerosene use for cooking and lighting remains widespread. This review focuses on household kerosene uses, mainly in developing countries, their associated emissions, and their hazards. Kerosene is often advocated as a cleaner alternative to solid fuels, biomass …
