Modern energy cooking services are crucial to human well-being and to Tanzania’s economic development. Cooking remains a central part of energy transition and core to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 and the Paris Agreement.

In Tanzania over 55 million people are without clean cooking services., that is more than 85 % of the population still depend on solid biomass fuels for cooking with 63.5% of households using firewood, followed by charcoal users 26.2%, Only 5.1% use LPG and 3% uses electricity (REA, NBS 2020). Most of the biomass fuels is being burned in inefficient three stone fire place in rural areas and in metal charcoal stoves in urban areas, which in turn affects health and wellbeing of the population through indoor air pollution.
