Abstract
Indonesia's household cooking fuels
have undergone a dramatic shift in recent years, owing
primarily to the government's highly successful
Kerosene-to- Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Conversion
Program; yet the impact in poorer rural areas has been
limited. Switching to LPG, electricity, and other modern
fuels would be the most effective way to achieve clean
cooking solutions, but these fuels are expensive, requiring
costly stoves and delivery infrastructure that are beyond
reach for most rural households. By contrast, many types of
biomass can be freely collected from the local environment
or purchased for significantly less than other fuels. Thus,
large-scale fuel switching in rural areas is unlikely to
occur until rural economies become substantially more
developed. This means that an estimated 40 percent of
households will continue to rely on traditional biomass
energy, especially fuel wood, to meet their daily cooking
needs for years to come. This report is structured according
to the directional organization of the study. Chapter two
presents an overview of household cooking fuels in
Indonesia, including policy changes and other factors that
influence fuel choices. Chapter three examines an array of
stove supply side issues, including market and production
capacity, popular stove models, limitations of business
models, key features of the supply chain, and attitudes
toward new stoves. Chapter four identifies gaps in policies
and institutional strengthening that future intervention
programs will need to fill and reviews lessons from
successful programs promoting clean cooking solutions that
can be applied to those focused on clean biomass cooking.
Finally, chapter five presents the recommended
implementation strategy, including an innovative financing
approach, and the next steps in helping Indonesia move
toward universal access to clean cooking solutions by 2030.
