The authors evaluated the effects of a large-scale ethanol cooking fuel promotion program in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and found substantial uptake of ethanol cooking.

The report concludes that improving the relative convenience of ethanol as a cooking fuel is needed to achieve broader positive impacts.
