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
