Abstract

This paper presents the technical design, market penetration, costs, and greenhouse gas emissions of three types of stoves for baking Injera, which is a traditional flat bread and staple food in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The investigated stoves are an improved biomass (Mirt), an electric, and a solar stove. As solar stove, a steam based concentrating high temperature device suitable for indoor cooking, was selected for economic evaluations. Since it is not available on the market yet, material prices and labor costs are considered.
