Methods Development and Instrumentation

Kirk Smith et al. published what remains the most complete set of greenhouse gas emission factors for cooking stoves. David Pennise’s work quantifying the greenhouse gas emissions from charcoal making is also the most substantive to date. More recently, Rufus Edwards continues to develop field methods and models for quantifying GHG emissions from cooking stoves.
