Review of Cooking Fuel and the Level Of Carbon Imprint Associated with the Fuelling System Adopted

Abstract

 The choice of cooking fuel is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of our daily lives, with significant implications for both personal health and the environment. As households around the world seek efficient and accessible means to prepare meals, the impact of these fuel choices on carbon emissions and climate change becomes increasingly evident. This article aims to review various cooking fuels, ranging from traditional options like wood and charcoal to modern alternatives such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and electricity. By examining the carbon imprints associated with each fuelling system, we will highlight the urgent need for sustainable alternatives and explore the broader implications for policy and community health. Through a comprehensive analysis that includes methodologies for assessing carbon emissions, case studies of successful fuel adoption, and recommendations for future practices, this article seeks to contribute to the dialogue on reducing our carbon footprint in the kitchen and beyond.
