Biochar (carbonized biomass) can have good effects on soil fertility, but biomass resources for its production are limited. Fuel-efficient biochar-producing top-lit updraft (TLUD) gasifier cookstove may be an option to reduce fuel use and indoor air pollution while producing biochar. There is potential for synergies between improved ecosystems, improved health of women and children and climate change mitigation. However, it all depends on the cookstove being adopted and integrated into the cooking systems of the rural households. Most households used three-stone open fire as their most common cooking method. Aim To identify factors that influence uptake of biochar-producing cookstove in a rural community in Kwale county, a coastal area in Kenya.
