Abstract: SummaryHousehold indoor air pollution kills approximately four million people every year. Affordable access to usable clean energy technologies is essential for the poorest three billion, who rely on solid fuels for cooking, heating, and lighting, to protect themselves from air pollution and to adapt to devastating climate changes. Project Surya has developed an innovative, collaborative approach, called Sensor-enabled Climate Financing (SCF) (Ramanathan et al., 2017), that aligns the objectives of clean energy implementers, stove manufacturers, governments, and multinationals with the needs of the individual women and families they strive to impact. SCF is a verified solution to the sector-wide problems of clean cookstove affordability and adoption.
