Boiling Point 24: Solar Energy - April 1991

Boiling Point
Front cover of Boiling Point issue 24
Issue 24 (1991) Solar Energy
This edition of Boiling Point includes several articles on Solar Energy. Developments in photo-voltaic technology are still of very limited use for cooking in the developing countries but may offer hope for the future. Solar water heaters can save fuel in cooking, particularly for community use and can be very simple and low cost. Opposing views are presented on the relative merits of charcoal and wood fuels and their overall fuel efficiencies.

BP24 was scheduled to have smoke pollution as its main theme, but we have received so many papers on the subject that a special issue on smoke will be published at the end of May and will be sent to all our readers. It contains Dr Kirk Smith's article on the development of stove programmes in recent times and the changing motivations of stove workers. The renewed concern with smoke pollution results from the increased understanding of the dangers to the health of women and children from biomass fuel cooking.
