ABOUT

This solutions-oriented conference will examine what we know, and what remains to be learned about addressing coal heating stoves for residential use, as well as stoves used for combined heating and cooking.  The Stoves Summit invites governments, producers, academia and civil society to address these issues in an integrated fashion for the first time from a global perspective.

Summary of Day 1, Setting the Stage

9:15 - 10:45

Solutions To Reduce Emissions: Part I

  • Testing and Comparing Stoves
  • Design improvements
  • Knowledge Gaps and Needed Steps

11:00 - 12:30

Solutions to Reduce Emissions: Part II

  • Overarching Technological Change:  Fuel switching, separating heating and cooking (alternatives such as electric heating, geothermal-heat pumps, solar energy)

  • Banning of old equipment
  • Incentives to change to other heating and cooking appliances including Change-out Programs
  • Ecolabelling and “Tiers”
  • Promotion of broader alternatives to small scale burning of solid fuels:
  • District heating, Electrification, Village-level plans (biogas, pellets), etc.
  • Development Financing and International Cooperation (CLRTAP, Male)
