| Description |
The Household Energy Programme (HEP), a pilot project of the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ), commissioned the development and testing a systematic approach to the economic assessment of the benefits of fuelwood savings achieved with improved stoves for households, small-scale enterprises and institutions, as well as the regional economy of the areas being assessed. The assessment criteria would be precise, relevant and simple to determine. The criteria are designed in such a way that they can be understood and easily used even by those with little or no background in economics.
The guide also suggests answers to questions, which repeatedly arise in connection with the economic assessment of fuelwood savings, namely; How base data can be obtained for the economic analyses and which methodological considerations are important for the calculation of average values, Whether and when costs of the stoves dissemination programmes should be taken into account in economic analyses, How total fuelwood consumption and the fuelwood savings achieved through the use of improved stoves develop in relation to each other over a long period of time, How the stove users assess the economic benefits of their fuelwood-saving stoves. |
