Scaling up gas and electric cooking in low- and middle-income countries: climate threat or mitigation strategy with co-benefits?

Emily Floess et al 2023 E nviron. Res. Lett. 18 034010

The study examines emissions reductions and climate impacts of global clean cooking transitions in LMICs from polluting fuels to LPG and electricity. It concludes that “a full transition to LPG will lead to drastic reductions in emissions of nearly all climate-forcing and health-damaging pollutants, and possibly contribute to a small reduction in global temperature relative to the BAU scenario.”
