Abstract

It is critical to examine strategies to use energy more efficiently because it is becoming increasingly expensive and scarce. This paper critically evaluated the various approaches and fundamental factors that must be considered when designing and testing improved cookstoves for sub-Saharan Africa. The choice of materials, whether the stove had a stack or not, and the height of the stove, which is thought to have a significant impact on emissions control and combustion, were all carefully considered. Three to five improved cookstoves were thought to be necessary for water boiling testing and field trials. It was determined to be appropriate to conduct a systematic assessment of the hood method, which is frequently used to evaluate the emissions of cookstoves and their efficiency. A discernible difference among the improved cookstoves was discovered to minimise the number of cookstoves for laboratory experiments in the case of comparative studies on biomass cookstoves. This review gives further information about the selection of biomass cookstoves and their design; and emission control strategies that can be used in future research on carbon capture from biomass stoves.
