【 摘 要 】

This report addresses the need toincrease market penetration of clean stoves with the endgoal of reducing household air pollution and the associateddisease burden as well as to reduce nonrenewable biomassfuel consumption. The first step in this goal is identifyingsuitable cleaner cooking technologies for the Ugandanmarket. A second step is ensuring that the cleaner cookingtechnologies are adopted to materialize reductions in indoorair pollution and biomass fuel consumption. A third step isto find suitable models and marketing strategies tointroduce these technologies into households. A final stepis ensuring that these technologies are adopted in the longterm or are replaced by cleaner technologies. The differentintervention stove models presented important differences infuel savings and willingness to pay (WTP). The WTP estimatesare based on actual demand for stoves under the experimentconditions. The Becker-deGroot-Marschak method failed tocapture accurate demand estimates and WTA estimates do notreflect the population’s purchase capacity. Hence, theactual purchase stoves’ using randomized prices was used tomore accurately measure demand.
