Abstract
The inefficient combustions of traditional solid fuels contribute high emissions of a variety of pollutants. These emissions not only cause severe indoor air pollution and premature death of rural residents, but also contribute to regional and even global air pollution and climate forcing. Replacing traditional fuels with cleaner and more affordable fuels is a challenge in most developing countries.
