''Adoption and impacts of clean bioenergy cookstoves in Kenya.''

Kenya is one of the leading countries in the development and
commercialization of clean bioenergy stoves in Sub-Sahara Africa. However,
due to a series of interconnected factors, the adoption and sustained use
of clean bioenergy stoves remains low in the country. This study
synthesizes the current knowledge about clean and efficient bioenergy
stoves in Kenya through a comprehensive review that brings together the
disparate knowledge about the context, status, adoption and impacts of
clean bioenergy stoves in Kenya.

We start by outlining the main national policies technological, options and
stakeholders involved in the clean bioenergy stove value chain such as
government agencies, private companies, research organisations, and the
civil society. Despite their different roles and interests, there is a
shared expectation among all involved stakeholders that clean #bioenergy

on energy security/ poverty, human health, rural livelihoods, gender
equality, and the environment.

However, a series of factors affect the adoption and sustained use of clean
bioenergy stoves such as market structure, consumer awareness, stove
design/performance, and the socioeconomic status and cultural practices of
stove users. We develop a conceptual framework that illustrates the
interlinkages between these factors of adoption and impacts, and outline
their varying degree of importance in Kenya. We finish this review by
suggesting six policy and practice domains that need to be targeted by
policies and research if an effective transition towards universal #

.

These include to (a) adopt integrated policy approaches and enhance
stakeholder collaboration; (b) raise awareness of the benefits of clean
bioenergy cooking options; (c) facilitate access to funding and establish
appropriate economic incentives; (d) implement quality assurance mechanisms;
(e) facilitate behavioural change among stove users; (f) enhance research,
development, and technical capacity.
