Comparison of improved and traditional cooking stove user in terms of firewood consumption: A study of Chhekampar VDC, Gorkha District, Nepal

Abstract:

This paper compares users of improved and the traditional cooking stoves in

Chhekampar Village Development Committee (VDC), Manaslu Conservation Area,Gorkha district, with regard to firewood consumption. The major variables used to analyze the firewood consumption of the households are family size, livestock holdings, frequency of firewood collection, duration of firewood gathering, amount of firewood used per day. The sampled households were classified in three elevation ranges (low, mid and high) for the comparison of improved and traditional cooking stoves users. The results reveal that using improved stoves reduced firewood consumption by 620 kg/capita/year, and household firewood savings by NRs 1784/capita/year. Carbon emission of traditional cooking stove is more than improved cooking stove (ICS) by 1136 kg/capita/year. Analyzing the variables it can be concluded that ICS is an effective technology for reducing consumption of firewood and helps to minimize the Carbon Dioxide emission.
