Traditional vs. Improved Cooking Stoves Cooking Stove (CS): g ( )Device used for cooking by burning of biomass (fuel

wood; also agro-residue, dung cakes or charcoal)May also serve space heating purpose (in high hills)

• Traditional Cooking Stove (TCS):Traditional Cooking Stove (TCS):Any CS that is in use traditionally; low efficiency, high

emissions, indoor smoke & soot, & fire hazards , ,• Improved Cooking Stove (ICS): CS with improved design for higher efficiency lowCS with improved design for higher efficiency, low

emissions, low indoor smoke & soot, & better safety4

Rural Energy Policy, 2006

Working Policies for ICS

• Awareness on smokeless & fuel wood efficient ICSefficient ICS

• Emphasis on R,D&D of household & institutional ICS suited to geographicalinstitutional ICS suited to geographical & cultural needs

• ICS technology transfer in rural areas• ICS technology transfer in rural areas

Key ICS Initiatives in NepalKey ICS Initiatives in Nepal• Small efforts on ICS promotion began from 1950s

through various organizationsthrough various organizations• Community Forestry Development Program (1980-91):

distribution of prefabricated ICS free of costdistribution of prefabricated ICS free of costNo skill transfer at local level; lack of ownership

B ilt it ICS b ith d i difi ti f• Built-on-site ICS began with design modification ofTamang Stove by RECAST/TU from 1990sAEPC executed Energy Sector Assistance Program• AEPC-executed Energy Sector Assistance Program(ESAP) began in 1999ESAP I (1999 2007): National ICS ProgramESAP I (1999 – 2007): National ICS Program

• Commenced from 1999 with DANIDA support;government of Norway joined from 2003g y j

• Started from Mid Hills followed by gradual expansion toother regions

• Expanded National ICS Program became BiomassEnergy Support Program (BESP) from 2007:National coverage - Mid Hills, High Hills & TeraiTechnology - Household (mud-brick ICS & metallicTechnology Household (mud brick ICS & metallic
