Chronic underheating is commonplace among poor households in cold-climate regions of developing countries beyond the reach of district heating and gas-distribution networks.
... See More + Until fuel switching is possible, high-efficiency, low-emissions (HELE) technologies offer a cost effective, intermediate solution to meet the heating aspirations of underserved populations. Recent pilot experience in Kyrgyzstan shows that switching to HELE heating stoves yields substantial benefits, including dramatically reduced emissions, better health, and savings in household fuel expenditure.

In cold-climate regions of developing countries, access to a reliable and affordable heat supply is critical to the well-being of the rural and peri-urban poor, who enjoy only limited access to district heating, natural gas, and electricity networks.
... See More + Most of them have long relied on solid fuel–fired, traditional heating stoves or simple low-pressure boilers (LPBs), which are fuel-inefficient, leaky, and highly polluting both indoors and outside. Having access to high-efficiency, low-emissions (HELE) heating stoves offers under-served households a cost-effective, intermediate solution until fuel-switching to gas or electricity is possible. Recent World Bank– supported winter heating pilot programs in the Central Asian countries of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan brought to market a small number of advanced, solid fuel–fired space heating and cooking stoves. This technical report aims to document the Central Asia pilot experience with HELE heating technologies and their potential use as a cost-effective, intermediate solution for millions of underserved households for improving health and reducing household air pollution, energy poverty, and climate impacts.

Access to clean cooking solutions remains one of the most daunting development challenges. Based on the latest Global Tracking Framework, the annual access growth rate of 0.46 percentage points did not keep pace with population growth.
... See More + In fact, the global population without access increased by 2 million annually, reaching 2.98 billion in 2016, which has profound impacts on public health and gender equality, poverty alleviation, environmental quality, and climate change. Because cooking is a highly contextualized system, local innovation and contextualized solutions are critical for long-term sustainability. Incentives or subsidies will be needed to achieve universal access to modern energy cooking solutions. Government policies are needed to (i) establish and maintain adequate levels of subsidy and (ii) design and implement effective subsidy allocation mechanisms to mobilize and sustain private-sector participation in scaling up access to modern cooking solutions and targeting households who have an affordability gap. The pilot experience in Indonesia shows that the results-based financing (RBF) framework can be an effective tool for unifying key elements for developing a sustainable clean cooking market. Development and implementation of the RBF pilot program under the Indonesia Clean Stove Initiative (CSI) confirm that RBF is a replicable and scalable mechanism for using public resources to incentivize the clean stoves market and can be adapted to other country contexts.

This report represents part of a study "Energy Efficiency Transformation in Astana and Almaty", which was financed by the World Bank's Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) - a multi-donor technical assistance trust fund administered by the World Bank.
... See More + The study was conducted between November 2016 and November 2017 in Almaty, using the Tool for Rapid Assessment of City Energy (TRACE 2.0). The objective of this study is to outline an urban EE strategy for the next 13 years for the city of Almaty, up to 2030, by assessing the energy performance of the municipal service sectors and identifying and prioritizing EE opportunities along with a sound implementation plan. The overarching objectives of the municipal EE plan are to reduce energy consumption, diminish related expenditures from the municipal budget, and improve municipal service delivery for city residents. The plan includes a host of qualitative targets, from reducing the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and Primary Energy Consumption (PEC), avoiding an increase in the energy bills to improving performance of local public service providers and enabling the environment to attract private investments for EE interventions.

Early Lessons from the East Asia and Pacific Clean Stove Initiative Initial lessons from the East Asia and Pacific (EAP) Clean Stove Initiative (CSI) confirm the need for country-specific roadmaps, strong national support, well-targeted subsidies, and integration of local conditions and international best practices into stoves standards and testing protocols.
... See More + Pilot results suggest that results-based financing is a promising way to incentivize the clean stoves market. Linkage with other projects having clean stoves components could accelerate scaled-up implementation.

Past market failures to deliver clean cooking and heating solutions, especially to low-income households, suggest the continued need for subsidies if universal access is to be achieved.
... See More + To succeed, however, subsidies must be well-targeted, have low potential for “leakage,” and be calibrated to avoid destroying commercial incentives and discipline. Results-based financing, which disburses public resources against demonstrated results, can be used to mobilizeand sustain private-sector participation in scaling up access to clean stoves. Pilots implementing this approach under the World Bank's Clean Stove Initiative show promising results.
