More than half of China's population still relies on solid fuels (coal and biomass) for cooking and heating; many of these households, located mainly in rural areas, are likely to continue using solid fuels in the near future. Switching to modern energy alternatives would be the most effective way to achieve clean cooking and heating solutions and should be encouraged; yet such fuels are more expensive than solid fuels, requiring more costly stoves and delivery infrastructure. Effective strategies to scale up the dissemination of clean burning, fuel-efficient stoves for household cooking and heating can mitigate the health hazards associated with the burning of solid fuels. It is estimated that Household Air Pollution (HAP) from solid fuel use results in more than a million premature deaths each year in China. Scaled-up access to clean and efficient stoves is consistent with China's strategy to promote energy conservation, reduced carbon emissions, and green energy in villages. The China CSI comprises four phases: 1) initial stocktaking and development of the implementation strategy; 2) institutional strengthening, capacity building, and piloting of the strategy; 3) scaled-up program implementation; and 4) evaluation and dissemination of lessons learned. This report will serve as a knowledge base and roadmap to encourage and engage all interested parties in working together on this important agenda. The initial CSI stocktaking exercise calls for a comprehensive strategy comprising institutional strengthening and building of an enabling policy and regulatory environment, market and business development, and stimulation of household demand, supported by an innovative, results based financing approach.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO MODERN ENERGYAGRICULTURAL RESIDUEAGRICULTURAL RESIDUESAGRICULTURAL WASTEAIRAIR POLLUTIONALTERNATIVE ENERGYALTERNATIVE ENERGY PROGRAMALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCESANAEROBIC DIGESTIONANIMAL DUNGAPPROACHARSENICATMOSPHERIC PRESSUREAVAILABILITYBIOGASBIOGAS DIGESTERSBIOGAS SYSTEMSBIOMASSBIOMASS AVAILABILITYBIOMASS FUELSBIOMASS RESOURCEBIOMASS RESOURCESBIOMASS STOVEBIOMASS STOVESBIOMASS USEBIOMASS USERSBLACK CARBONBLACK CARBON EMISSIONSBOILERSBURNING STOVESCANCERCARBON CREDITSCARBON DIOXIDECARBON EMISSIONSCARBON FINANCECARBON MONOXIDECHARCOALCHEMICAL TECHNOLOGYCLEAN COALCLEAN DEVELOPMENTCLIMATECLIMATESCLIMATIC CONDITIONSCOCOALCOAL BRIQUETTESCOAL PRODUCTIONCOAL RESOURCESCOLD WINTERSCOLORSCOMBUSTIONCOMMERCIAL ENERGYCONVENTIONAL ENERGYCOOKINGCOOKING FUELSCOOKING STOVESCORNDAILY COOKINGDEFORESTATIONDISTRICT HEATINGDISTRICT HEATING SYSTEMSDUSTECONOMIC GROWTHEFFICIENT STOVESELECTRIC HEATERELECTRICITYELECTRICITY USEEMISSIONS REDUCTIONENERGY ALTERNATIVESENERGY CONSERVATIONENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY INDUSTRYENERGY NEEDSENERGY OFFICESENERGY POLICIESENERGY PROJECTSENERGY RESOURCESENERGY SAVINGSENERGY SERVICESENERGY SOURCEENERGY SOURCESENERGY STRUCTUREENERGY USEENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCYFLUORIDATIONFLUOROSISFOOD CROPSFORESTFOREST RESIDUESFOREST RESOURCESFORESTRYFORESTRY RESOURCESFOSSILFUELFUEL COLLECTIONFUEL EFFICIENCYFUEL MIXFUEL PRICESFUEL SOURCEFUEL SUPPLIESFUEL SWITCHINGFUEL USEFUELWOODGENERATIONGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTGLOBAL WARMINGGREEN ENERGYHEALTH HAZARDHEATHEATING ENERGYHEAVY RELIANCEHOUSEHOLD COOKINGHOUSEHOLD ENERGYHOUSEHOLD ENERGY CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD ENERGY USEHOUSEHOLD FUELHOUSEHOLD INCOMEINTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCYKEROSENELIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASLIVING STANDARDSLPGMETHANEMODERN FUELSNATURAL GASNATURAL RESOURCESNEGATIVE IMPACTSNOXOILPARTICULATEPARTICULATE MATTERPER CAPITA INCOMEPETROLEUMPETROLEUM GASPOLLUTANTSPRIMARY FUELPROPORTION OF BIOMASSRAW COALRAW MATERIALRAW MATERIALSRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCESRENEWABLE RESOURCERENEWABLE SOURCESRICE STRAWRURAL AREASRURAL ENERGYRURAL HOUSEHOLDRURAL HOUSEHOLDSSMOKESO2SOLAR ENERGYSOLAR ENERGY RESOURCESSOLAR RADIATIONSOLAR RESOURCESOLAR RESOURCESSOLID FUELSOLID FUELSSUGARSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE ENERGYTHERMAL EFFICIENCYTONS OF CARBONTOXIC POLLUTANTSTRADITIONAL BIOMASSTRADITIONAL STOVETRADITIONAL STOVESURBAN HOUSEHOLDSUSE OF BIOMASSUTILIZATION OF BIOMASSUTILIZATION OF BIOMASS ENERGYWATER HEATINGWHEATWOODWOOD RESOURCESWorld Bank10.1596/16662
