Wood cookstoves are common in the Brazilian semiarid region. Most families use traditional versions,
which have a series of social, environmental and health-related impacts. “Improved cookstoves” refer
to cleaner and more efficient cookstoves. These include adaptations that improve energy efficiency and reduce indoor air pollution, bringing benefits such as the reduction of firewood consumption
for cooking, reduction of the emission of polluting gases originating from firewood burning and
fewer health impacts, also contributing to forest conservation. Although the improved cookstoves
sector is still relatively underdeveloped in the Brazilian semiarid region, in recent years interest in
these technological alternatives has increased. In this context, the present study contributes to the
compilation and organization of information referring to the use of improved cookstoves in the Brazilian
semiarid region.
