Objective:
The objectives of the project remain as stated in the original proposal. Specifically, the project has four broad objectives linked to improvements in clean stove design and dissemination and impacts on health and climate: 1) assess the acceptability and availability of stove technologies and fuels, 2) experiment by offering stoves for free or at a subsidy and under varying social interactions to determine the impact of these factors on stove adoption rates and outcomes, 3) measure in situ impacts of stove adoption on air pollution, and climate-forcing, and 4) model the impacts of widespread stove adoption on regional and global climate through a range of scenarios directly informed by data from the field. Fieldwork will occur in Himachal Pradesh (HP) and Karnataka (KA).
Progress Summary:
During the third year of activities, we nearly completed fieldwork and data collection. In this phase of research the main accomplishments include implementing two cycles of stove change-outs, conducting interim and close-out surveys, as well as air quality and stove emission measurements, continuous stove-use monitoring. At the time of writing, we have completed fieldwork in one set of communities and provided stoves to control households as agreed in their terms of participation. In addition, we have completed roughly 75% of fieldwork in our second set of communities and expect to finish there by early October.
Future Activities:
Major objectives include:
-
Final data collection in Karnataka
-
Analysis, write up, and publication of results
