Berkeley Air Monitoring Group Supportive Environments for Healthy Households & Communities 3-4 November 2010
Berkeley Air’s Strengths • M&E Tools, Instruments & Training • Adoption & energy use • In-field stove emissions • Pollutant concentrations & exposures • Socioeconomic impacts • Timely Field Data • Capacity to organize rapid assessments and in-depth evaluations • Assess opportunities, barriers, results • Trained field partners in Africa, Asia & Latin America • Trends • In the last 12 months, we’ve monitored 17 stoves types in approx. 5,750 household tests in 10 countries • See best practices, common pitfalls, innovation and initiatives across the field
Recommended Strategic Objectives • Accelerate commercialization of new technologies, such as fan stoves. • Rocket stoves are an interim step not the final goal • Focus on fuel preparation and fuel type • Processed fuels provide the consistency that is key to strong performance and take pressure off users to meter the fuel meticulously • Processing biomass for fuel often requires systems created at scale and innovative financing • Target institutional and commercial biomass stoves as well as households • Prioritize ways to make good stoves affordable rather than making affordable stoves attractive
Countries with Promising Opportunities for SEH • Ethanol stoves in Madagascar and Ethiopia, possibly also Nigeria and Guatemala • Pellet stoves that burn processed bagasse fuel as a replacement for charcoal in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Sudan and Haiti • Document IAP problem and effectiveness of solutions in order to build support for IAP campaign in Ministry of Health, with USAID mission and other stakeholders in Uganda
