Efficient use of biomass in improved cookstoves
Pal, R. K1.
Traditional biomass cookstoves have very low efficiency. The improved
cookstoves have very high efficiency. These improved cookstoves with high
efficiency saves biomass fuels. Biomass can be saved in case of rocket elbow
cookstoves. The amount of biomass which can be saved in case of rocket elbow
cookstoves is 65.88 MT. More biomass can be saved in case of gasifier fan
cookstoves. The amount of biomass which can be saved is 155.71 MT. The
pollutants like particulate matter, black carbon, carbon mono-oxide and carbon
dioxide emission is lesser in case of rocket elbow cookstoves. The pollutants
are least in case of gasifier fan cookstoves. The reduction in particulate matter,
black carbon, carbon mono-oxide and carbon dioxide emission in gasifier fan
cookstoves is 1.77 MT, 0.24 MT, 0.71 MT & 151.64 MT respectively in
comparison to traditional cookstoves. Therefore indoor air pollution is greatly
reduced in case of improved cookstoves especially in case of gasifier fan
cookstoves as compared to traditional cookstoves.
