Summary
At times the emphasis is being given on utilisation of modern clean cooking fuels. Access to cleaner energy sources and technologies can contribute to adaptation and mitigating climate change, combating desertification and forest degradation and lessening the serious health problems especially for women and children through decreasing the use of traditional biomass for energy [1]. Households in most developing countries are highly dependent on traditional fuels for cooking, heating and lighting, which have negative impacts on health and the environment [2]. To scale up the utilization of clean fuels for household cooking, public and private institutions, non-government organizations as well as individuals have been working hard to create enabling environments for clean cooking. Technological innovations such as improved biomass fuels, improved biomass cookstove, solar cooking, biogas and recently bottled gas service are some of the innovations which had/have been or are being deployed to scale up clean cooking. Productivity and job creation, innovation is considered as an essential force for starting and fueling the engine of growth
