Abstract

Energy use is essential to meet our most basic needs: cooking boiling water lighting and heating. It is also a prerequisite for good health - a reality that has been largely ignored by the world community. Left behind by development more than 3 billion people still burn wood dung coal and other traditional fuels inside their homes. The resulting indoor air pollution is responsible for more than 1.5 million deaths a year - deaths that mostly fall on young children and their mothers. Moreover indoor air pollution and inefficient household energy practices represent a stumbling block on our road
