Objective:
The overall objective of this research is to develop tools to quantify the air quality, climate and health benefits of a household energy intervention. The study will then demonstrate these tools in a novel energy innovation program in the Tibetan Plateau where a high-performing semi-gasifier cooking and water heating stove and supply of processed biomass fuel is being placed into ~200 homes through a Chinese government sponsored solid fuel intervention program. The study will integrate emissions and exposure measurements into this program that addresses cookstoves, heating stoves, and residential fuel, and applying these measurements to regional climate models and a health intervention study to quantify health and climate mitigation benefits of the intervention. The study will demonstrate a framework to quantify the benefits of real world interventions and policies aimed at reducing household solid fuel emissions. The project will leverage an existing intervention program to replace traditional fuels and stoves in 200 rural homes in the Tibetan Plateau. The project will integrate expertise of the project team members to quantify the reduction in emissions and exposures and cardiovascular impacts of the intervention, and to estimate the impact of larger-scale interventions on regional climate. The study results and their interpretation will be disseminated to policy makers and other relevant environmental and public health stakeholder groups.
