A comparative study on the performance of traditional and modern energy technologies for cooking in Uganda

Abstract

If this study is not carried out, several consequences including the following may occur for example, there was continued health pressing issues as people in Uganda continue to rely on traditional cooking methods that result in in-door pollution, and this can lead to ongoing health problems especially for women and children in Uganda that are susceptible to solid fuel emissions. On the other hand, without understanding the difference in energy efficiency, the continued use of traditional biomass fuels can contribute to deforestation and environmental degradation, which negatively impacts the local ecosystem and contributes to climate change. Failure to study this topic may hinder Uganda’s progress towards sustainable development goals, and our country may miss out on opportunities to improve living standards, reduce poverty, and promote environmental sustainability through more efficient cooking practices.
