Energy ladder theory, Fuel choice, Clean fuel adoption

The energy ladder theory suggests that as household income increases, there is a transition from cheaper but less clean fuels to cleaner but more expensive options for cooking and heating. Economic progress plays a significant role in shifting households from wood to kerosene and electricity. However, factors beyond economic status also influence fuel choice, limiting the impact of policies promoting substitutions. Access to modern energy is distributed unevenly, with significant portions of the population lacking it, especially in rural areas. The lack of access to modern energy is attributed to institutional, regulatory, and pricing challenges, requiring government intervention. Rising petroleum-based fuel prices in peri-urban areas make fuelwood an attractive alternative for lower and middle-income households, potentially affecting woodland resources and rural ecology. The shift towards modern energy comes with considerable expenses, and the challenges faced by the poorest households as conventional fuels become more expensive need to be addressed. Promoting clean fuel adoption offers benefits like reduced deforestation, lowered emissions, improved health, time savings, and enhanced education outcomes
