Abstract
This chapter focuses on how to enable the adoption of improved cookstove in daily life, the improved cookstove classification, recent advancement in technology, potential of improved cookstove to mitigate greenhouse gases emissions, support of policy framework in the country, and barriers in technology dissemination and adoption. Moreover, the development of multi-fuel cookstoves should be stressed because of biomass diversity in local areas rather than particular biomass cookstove. In concern with the stove materials, a cookstove may be made of mud, ceramic, cement, and other locally available materials which defined the durability of stoves. The most of the cookstove sold in India so far having thermal efficiency between 25 to 30% only. The current scenario required a rigorous effort to develop stove having thermal efficiency greater than 45% by keeping the users’ preferences in mind while designing. This could be done by establishing state-of-art laboratories for research and development through collaborative work between the government and private sector.
