Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment
通过在赞比亚的实地实验,研究太阳能灶具对农村家庭生物质燃料使用和烹饪习惯的影响,发现其可减少3-7%的排放,但未显著改变烹饪习惯。
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits. Participants kept detailed food diaries, recording every ingredient and fuel source used in preparing every dish in every meal every day during the experiment. This produces data on 93,000 ingredients used to prepare 30,000 dishes. Treated households significantly reduce biomass fuel use, cutting emissions by 3–7%, but do not significantly change cooking habits.
