Novel research shows health, climate benefits of increasing access to electricity and gas for cooking in low- and middle-income countries
First-of-its-kind research shows that expanding the use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and/or grid electricity to replace biomass-fueled cooking in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) significantly benefits human health and climate alike.Roughly one-third of the world’s population lacks access to clean cooking fuels and technologies. Cooking with biomass – such as wood and charcoal – causes over 3 million premature deaths each year through
