Cooking that kills: Cleaner energy access, indoor air pollution,
Dirty cooking fuels are a significant source of indoor air pollution in developing countries, resulting in millions of premature deaths. This paper investigates the health impacts of household access to cleaner fuel using a nationwide fuel-switching program, the largest household energy transition project ever attempted in the

The case for islands'' energy vulnerability: Electricity supply diversity in 44 global islands
Previous studies showed that islands experience energy scarcity and isolation from energy markets due to their remote location making energy supply security a challenging issue. We estimate energy supply diversity and concentration for 44 islands in order to provide an island specific benchmark approach for energy supply security.
Implications of energy storage and climate change for pollution
Energy storage offers multiple values to the power system, including potential use as pollution control technology (Behles, 2015). Nevertheless, energy storage is inherently challenged in how it can and should be compensated financially for all of the various benefits it provides to the power system ( Kintner-Meyer, 2014 ; Sioshansi
