Can Improved Biomass Cookstoves Contribute to REDD+ in Low-Income Countries? : Evidence from a Controlled Cooking Test Trial with Randomized Behavioral Treatments

Can Improved Biomass Cookstoves Contribute to REDD+ in Low-Income Countries? : Evidence from a Controlled Cooking Test Trial with Randomized Behavioral Treatments

This paper provides field experiment–based evidence on the potential additional forest carbon sequestration that cleaner and more fuel-efficient cookstoves might generate. The paper focuses on the Mirt (meaning “best”) cookstove, which is used to...
