Dispelling common misconceptions to improve attitudes and policy outlook on charcoal in developing countries (2013, background): “On the one hand, the firewood to charcoal switch reduces exposure to indoor air pollution particularly for women and children (Koyuncu and Pinar, 2007; Smith et al., 2000).”
Improved stoves in India: A study of sustainable business models (2011, background): “Moreover, a growing body of literature suggests that incomplete combustion products and black carbon from traditional biomass burning have a significant contribution to climate change (Johnson et al., 2009; Smith et al., 2000).”
Solid Fuel Use for Household Cooking: Country and Regional Estimates for 1980–2010 (2013, neutral): “10”
An assessment of biofuel use and burning of agricultural waste in the developing world (2003, methodology): “For conversion to amount carbon per amount dry matter, we used the multiplicative factors 0.45 gm C/gm DM for wood, 0.40 gm C/gm DM for crop residue, and 0.35 gm C/gm DM for dung [Smith et al., 2000], unless other conversions were indicated.”
Household Air Pollution from Coal and Biomass Fuels in China: Measurements, Health Impacts, and Interventions (2007, background): “PICs from lowefficiency biomass combustion in household stoves, for example, contain a relatively large fraction of methane many times more potent in radiative forcing than CO2, implying that biomass stoves can have net global warming potentials, even with a renewable fuel cycle (Smith et al. 2000).”
Bioenergy and sustainable development (2007, background): “In fact, the global warming commitment of these PICs can be high enough to exceed the global warming contribution of fossil-based [kerosene or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)] stoves (on a per-meal-equivalent basis) (21).”
Win-win scenarios at the climate–development interface: Challenges and opportunities for stove replacement programs through carbon finance (2012, neutral): “Recent climate science studies also identify domestic cookstoves as a significant source of green house gas emissions (GHGs) (Smith et al., 2000).”
Market Barriers to Clean Cooking Fuels in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Review of Literature (2008, background): “With a high total energy efficiency on combustion of nearly 60%, biogas is well suited to household cooking (Smith et al. 2000a).”
