| Abstract: | Globally, there has been an increased trend for improved biomass cook stove (IBCS) and clean fuels in recent decades since it provides triple benefit, such as thermal performance, household health, and improvement in the regional environment. In India, traditional biomass cook stoves have been a staple for cooking in many households, particularly in rural areas. However, a major concern is the unsustainable use of inefficient cook stoves and solid biomass fuels in terms of energy and the environment's security. Numerous initiatives have been taken by the Indian government and various non-governmental organizations to promote improved and energy-efficient biomass cook stoves which can increase thermal efficiency and reduce direct exposure to smoke. IBCS play a crucial role in promoting environmental sustainability by reducing emissions, conserving resources, mitigating climate change, improving health outcomes and fostering social and economic development. There is a very limited systematic information in finding out the critical key factors that can actually determine the success of IBCS in the Indian context. This paper provides an overview of the IBCS technology and programs and its significant contribution to various sustainable development goals established by the United Nation. Furthermore, the paper explores the technological advancements in IBCS design and performance including improved combustion efficiency, reduced emissions, and enhanced durability. The information and knowledge from this review article and the comparisons made are beneficial to propose a novel and systematic approach for improved version of biomass cook stove designs for future. This contribution helps to promote the widespread adoption of IBCS technology and sustainable benefits with equitable future for rural communities of India and beyond. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
