Boiling Point
 [top] [end]Boiling Point 56: Liquid FuelsDue for publication in December 2008 the theme for the next issue of Boiling Point is ‘Liquid Fuels in the Household':In recent years there has been an increasing focus on liquid fuels in the household energy sector as they offer the potential of reduced indoor air pollution and a more modern, user-friendly experience. Fuels such as liquid petroleum gas (LPG) and kerosene (paraffin) are already extensively used in many developing countries but barriers to their continued dissemination exist, with the recent surge in oil prices making them increasingly unaffordable to many, and there are also ongoing safety concerns. Lately, liquid biofuels have risen up the agenda with headlines being dominated by their use as a transport fuel in the North, with the option of domestic consumption in developing countries rarely being mentioned. Potentially offering lower GHG emissions and greater benefits to local economies, much more information is needed on the measured impacts of fuel alcohols and plant oils, both positive and negative. This edition of Boiling Point focuses on Liquid Fuels in the household and seeks to draw on both new and existing knowledge in the sector to help create viable markets for these fuels. By exploring the themes common to all liquid fuels some key lessons can be learned: from the creation of sustainable supply chains; to identifying real socio-economic impacts; through to overcoming barriers to the adoption and use of liquid fuel cook stoves and lighting.
