They must ... rely on traditional methods of lighting, heating and cooking – methods that are often unreliable and hazardous. For three billion people, the main energy usage is ‘biomass’ – wood, charcoal, and organic waste – for cooking. Overwhelmingly, these people are concentrated in developing countries. Working with communities to develop appropriate solutions Practical Action’s energy projects aim to increase poor people’s access to energy technology options, through improving the efficiency and productivity of biomass use, and through small scale, low cost, off-grid electricity supply. Practical Action works closely with communities to help them develop technology options which are appropriate to their needs. Where biomass for cooking is the principal energy requirement, Practical Action helps   [More...] [Less...]
