The results showthat LPG mitigates about 559 of CO2-e, thus reducing GHG emissions andfindings suggest that amongst all thetested fuel types, traditional cookstove with cowdung cake as fuel was the worst performer.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Solid biomass fuel-SBF combustion is known to be the second-largest source of carbon emissions, which alsoleads to adverse environment and health implications.
📊
Key Findings & Data:This was done by experimentally conducting water boiling test (WBT) for various fuel types such asliquefied petroleum gas (LPG), kerosene,acaciawood,Mangifera Indica(mango wood) and cowdung cake.Emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) were measured during WBT.
💡

Özet

Solid biomass fuel-SBF combustion is known to be the second-largest source of carbon emissions, which alsoleads to adverse environment and health implications. The study evaluated the emission factors and non-carbondioxide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for various types of fuel-stove combinations used for cooking purposesin Punjab, India. Most commonly used fuel types in the study area were chosen for the combustion emissionsestimation. This was done by experimentally conducting water boiling test (WBT) for various fuel types such asliquefied petroleum gas (LPG), kerosene,acaciawood,Mangifera Indica(mango wood) and cowdung cake.Emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) were measured during WBT. Carbon balanceequations were developed and Global warming impact index (GWI) of biomass fuels was also calculated. GWI forLPG, kerosene,acaciawood,Mangifera Indica(mango wood) and cowdung cake were found to be 16, 62.4,341.4, 429.8 and 575.1 CO2-equivalent (CO2-e), respectively, in the time horizon of 20 years. The results showthat LPG mitigates about 559 of CO2-e, thus reducing GHG emissions andfindings suggest that amongst all thetested fuel types, traditional cookstove with cowdung cake as fuel was the worst performer. Mitigating GHGemissions by adoption of SBF based improved cookstoves alone is not possible to attain the target health goals.Hence, to minimize the emission factors and maximize the amount of energy supplied, this study emphasizes toexplore the sustainable energy planning strategies and by extending the scope of clean fuels to reduce GHGemissions
