The document discusses household biomass energy transition in sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on the needs and preferences of users, primarily women. It notes that woodfuel in the form of firewood and charcoal provides over 90% of household cooking energy in many SSA countries. The document advocates for considering user choice and an energy mix approach in the transition, and presents strategies for improving biomass cooking systems through technologies that reduce workload, emissions and environmental impacts while increasing efficiency. A key approach discussed is co-designing technologies with users through transdisciplinary collaboration between researchers, industry and communities.
