The fuel consumption estimates repo

The fuel consumption estimates reported here indicate that the Nepal and Peru stove interventions produce significant fuel savings, and that the combination of Oorja/LPG usage presents an energy consumption scenario substantially lower than use of traditional biomass stoves. The fuel savings of the Inkawasi stove in Peru were highly dependent on the level of stove maintenance and user training, indicating that these are critical factors that need to be address for maximum stove performance to be realized. In India, the Oorja stove was used as an alternative to LPG, and thus the comparisons with traditional biomass stoves are speculative, although the fuel consumption estimates clearly suggest that there would be a considerable energy savings if traditional users were able to switch to LPG and Oorja usage.
