Abstract

The use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a World Health Organization-designated “clean” fuel, dominates household fuel expansion in low- and middle-income countries and is the most widely studied clean fuel in terms of health, climate, gender, equity, and preference considerations. We review the current state of evidence on all clean fuels and argue that knowledge gaps create uncertainty that impedes action on cooking energy alternatives and encourages reliance on markets rather than policy-driven transitions. There is currently not enough evidence that any single fuel is a silver bullet for protecting health and environment. Further research into electric cooking could support a comprehensive household and community energy transition beyond cooking. We propose a set of policies that multilateral agencies, governments, funders, researchers, and nongovernmental organizations can pursue to assess how renewable energy should complement LPG in expanding energy access. This agenda is intended to help ensure a clean, healthful, equitable, and sustainable energy future for all.

为未来提供动力:促进公平清洁烹饪获取健康、福祉和气候的政策
液化石油气(LPG)是世界卫生组织指定的“清洁”燃料,在低收入和中等收入国家的家庭燃料扩展中占主导地位,并且在健康、气候、性别、公平和偏好考虑方面是研究最广泛的清洁燃料。我们回顾了所有清洁燃料的证据现状,认为知识差距造成了不确定性,阻碍了对烹饪能源替代品的行动,并鼓励依赖市场而不是政策驱动的转型。目前没有足够的证据表明,任何一种燃料都是保护健康和环境的灵丹妙药。对电烹饪的进一步研究可以支持全面的家庭和社区能源转型,而不仅仅是烹饪。我们提出了一套政策,供多边机构、政府、资助者、研究人员和非政府组织采纳,以评估可再生能源应如何与液化石油气互补,扩大能源获取。这一议程旨在帮助确保所有人享有一个清洁、健康、公平和可持续的能源未来。
