Introduction
This document describes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) research to evaluate the
performance and emissions of various cookstoves and fuels in an in-house laboratory located in
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, and associated activities, including standards development and
capacity building for testing centers located in the developing world. This cookstove laboratory research
program was first developed to assist the EPA-led Partnership for Clean Indoor Air [1] and is now part of
the U.S. Government's commitment to the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves (the Alliance) [2], Goals
of the program are to:
1.	Support the development of testing protocols and standards for cookstoves through ISO
(International Organization for Standardization) TC (Technical Committee) 285: Clean
Cookstoves and Clean Cooking Solutions [3],
2.	Support the development of international Regional Testing and Knowledge Centers (many
sponsored by the Alliance) for scientifically evaluating and certifying cookstoves to international
standards [4],
3.	Provide an independent source of data on cookstove performance to Alliance partners.
This work supports EPA's mission to protect human health and the environment. Household air
pollution, mainly from solid-fuel cookstoves in the developing world, is estimated to cause
approximately four million premature deaths per year [5], and emissions of black carbon and other
pollutants from cookstoves affect regional and global climate [6], An Alliance-coordinated multi-
national multi-disciplinary approach, including the development of standards and testing, is designed to
improve global health and the environment through clean cooking solutions [7],
The focus of this report is on the activities associated with the in-house EPA cookstove laboratory by a
research team composed of federal employees, post-doctoral fellows, and on-site contractor personnel.
Other ongoing EPA cookstove research and activities, including: (1) EPA Science to Achieve Results
(STAR) grants to quantify air quality and climatic impacts of residential biomass or coal combustion for
cooking, heating, and lighting, (2) health effects evaluations, (3) life cycle assessment of fuel options,
and (4) fieldwork capacity building, are not included. For information on STAR grants, see Reference [8];
for information on other related research and activities, see References [9], [10], and [11],
ISO Standards Development
Background
EPA has provided leadership, research, and data to support the development of cookstove testing
protocols and standards through ISO. EPA published data [12] were instrumental in developing the ISO
IWA (International Workshop Agreement) 11-2012, Guidelines for Evaluating Cookstove Performance
[13] [14], These guidelines were unanimously affirmed by more than 90 stakeholders at the ISO
International Workshop on Cookstoves on February 28-29, 2012, in The Hague, Netherlands. IWA
11:2012 provides guidelines for rating the performance of cookstoves into tiers based on four important

-------
indicators: (1) Efficiency/fuel use, (2) Total Emissions, (3) Indoor Emissions, and (4) Safety. These
guidelines are being used while further development of testing protocols and standards is underway
through ISO Technical Committee (TC) 285 [3], With 25 participating countries and 15 observing
countries, ISO TC 285 has four Working Groups: (1) Conceptual Framework, (2) Laboratory Testing, (3)
Field Testing, and (4) Social Impact Assessment; and two Task Groups: (1) Fuels and (2) Communications.
FY 2016
EPA provided leadership and experimental results that were used by the international community to
make significant progress towards the development of an ISO standard for laboratory testing of
cookstoves. John Mitchell, EPA Office of Air and Radiation, served as Head of the U.S. Technical
Advisory Group Delegation to ISO TC-285. Jim Jetter, the EPA lead for the laboratory cookstove testing,
served as Project Leader for Working Group 2, Laboratory Testing. Jim, with support from the Convenor
from the Uganda National Bureau of Standards, and with input from 60 international experts, led the
development of a draft standard that was accepted as a Committee Draft at the Second Plenary Meeting
of ISO TC-285 in Accra, Ghana, November 2-6, 2015. Following the Plenary Meeting, participating
countries reviewed the Committee Draft and voted to advance the document to the next stage of the
ISO process - Draft International Standard. Only Working Group 2 achieved this stage in the process,
and the EPA Project Leader subsequently provided mentorship to other working groups. Ongoing EPA
research is providing data and evaluation of testing protocols and methods to support further
development of standards.
1 Participants, ISO TC 285 Plenary Meeting, Accra, Ghana, November 2-6, 2015
Approximately 100 people participated in the 2016 ISO Plenary Meeting in Ghana including Delegates,
Working Group Experts, and Observers. Participants reviewed working drafts, discussed review
comments, resolved some contentious issues, worked to build consensus among WG 2 experts, and
developed recommendations for TC 285 Resolutions.

Capacity Building for International Testing and Knowledge Centers
Background
With sponsorship from the Alliance, EPA hosted the first International Workshop on Stove Testing for
Regional Testing and Knowledge Centers in Research Triangle Park (RTP) in January, 2013, and the EPA
research team participated in a second workshop in Honduras in December, 2013. These workshops
were designed to build capacity through knowledge transfer including laboratory best practices,
equipment operation, data processing and analysis, and quality assurance. The goals of the capacity
building are to establish a global network of Regional Testing Centers with capability for testing stoves
according to international standards being developed through ISO TC-285 and to develop capability of
the centers to work with stove developers to improve cooking technologies.
2 Training Workshops for Cookstove Testing at U.S. EPA in RTP and in Honduras
FY 2016
The EPA research team provided technical assistance and leadership to support:
•	Ongoing round-robin testing among 22 participating Centers, with sponsorship from the
Alliance.
•	The International Development Design Summit (IDDS) for Cookstoves Innovation in East Africa on
August 18-19 as an invited expert, and the Intensive Training on Cookstove Testing at the Centre for
Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (CREEC) at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda on
August 22-26, 2016. See photos and details below.
•	A planned Cookstove Laboratory Testing Workshop in La Paz, Bolivia, on October 3-7, 2016.
•	Capacity building through knowledge transfer communications with Regional Testing Centers.

August, 2016
CREEC is a leading RTKC (Regional Testing and Knowledge Center) co-sponsored by the Global Alliance
for Clean Cookstoves. The Intensive Training covered a full range of cookstove testing issues including
fuel efficiency, cookstove emissions evaluation, calibration of equipment, data analysis, quality
assurance, and reporting. The training provided further capacity building of a global network of RTKCs
that will be capable of scientifically evaluating and certifying cookstoves to international standards for
air pollutant emissions and fuel efficiency.
Laboratory Assessments of Cookstove Systems
Background
EPA has established the world's leading independent laboratory for to provide high-quality test data on
cookstove air pollutant emissions and fuel efficiency. The EPA facility is used to accurately measure
both chimney and fugitive emissions of air pollutants using the total-capture dilution-tunnel method.
An array of instruments is used for measuring gaseous pollutants and aerosol properties. Based on the
quality of the data generated, the EPA laboratory results are trusted and valued by partners including
the U.S. Department of State, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Energy
(DOE), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Peace Corps, World Health
Organization (WHO), ISO, Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, and other Alliance partners. Published
EPA data are included in the Alliance's online Clean Cooking Catalog [15].

4 EPA Cookstove Research Facility, Research Triangle Park, NC
FY 2016
EPA published independent test results on cookstove air pollutant emissions and fuel efficiency in
reports available to the public. Each EPA report provides testing results for a cookstove system
consisting of the stove, cooking pot, fuel, and operating procedure. A detailed description of the system
is provided in the body of each report. During testing, the stoves are operated as intended by the
manufacturer. Actual performance of cookstoves used in the field may vary if the system is different
(e.g., a different fuel is used) or is not operated as intended.
Cookstove systems are tested using the Water Boiling Test (WBT) Version 4.2.3 [16] and following the
ISO IWA (International Workshop Agreement) 11-2012, Guidelines for Evaluating Cookstove
Performance [13] [14], described above in the ISO Standards Development section. For measuring air
pollutant emissions, the "total capture" method (also known as the "hood" method) is used, as
described on Pages 60-61 of the WBT protocol [16] and similar to EPA Method 5G [17], The protocol
specifies that the stove be tested at high power (cold- and hot-start phases) and low power (simmer
phase). The cold-start phase begins with the stove at ambient temperature, and the hot-start phase
begins with the stove at operating temperature. During both phases, the stove is operated at high
power to heat water in the pot from ambient to boiling temperature. During the simmer phase, the
stove is operated at low power to maintain the target water temperature at 3 °C below the boiling
point. Fuel burning rates determine the power levels. During testing, variation in fuel burning rates
between test replications is minimized. Actual performance of cookstoves used in the field may vary if
the stove is operated at different fuel burning rates and hence at different power levels.
Each report provides performance ratings obtained in accordance with IWA 11:2012 guidelines, and tier
ratings range from 0 (baseline) to 4 (best). Tier 0 represents the performance of typical traditional open
three-stone fires used for cooking, and Tier 4 represents aspirational goals for solid-fuel cookstoves.
Efficiency/fuel use, total emissions, and indoor emissions are tested at high- and low-power operating
conditions, and sub-tier values and ratings are reported for the two power levels, while the overall
rating is the lowest sub-tier rating, as specified in the IWA. Sub-tier values and ratings for many
7 | P a g e

-------
different stove types are compared in the reports. A brief description of the performance indicators
specified in the IWA is provided below.
Efficiency/fuel use is an important indicator, especially for cookstoves used in areas where fuel is scarce
or expensive or where forest degradation is an issue due to unsustainable harvesting of wood for fuel.
Greater fuel efficiency is desirable, but increased efficiency does not always correlate with reduced
emissions of air pollutants. Efficiency/fuel use tier levels are based on thermal efficiency at high power
and specific energy use at low power, per the IWA.
Total emissions of air pollutants from cookstoves have potential impact on human health and climate
change. CO (carbon monoxide) and PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) are indicator pollutants specified in
IWA 11:2012, and emissions of additional pollutants are quantified in the reports, including gaseous
pollutants C02 (carbon dioxide), THC (total hydrocarbons), CH4 (methane), and NOx (nitrogen oxides), as
well as particulate OC (organic carbon), EC (elemental carbon), and BC (black carbon). Total emission
tier levels are based on the mass of pollutant emitted per unit of useful energy delivered at high power
and the specific emission rate at low power, per the IWA.
Indoor emissions have a potential direct impact on human health, and emissions may be reduced by
stoves with cleaner combustion and/or with chimneys (flues). Stoves without chimneys are tested for
total emissions into the indoor space, and stoves with chimneys are tested for fugitive emissions from
the stove. Indoor emissions tier levels are based on emission rates, per the IWA.
Safety is also an important indicator included in IWA 11:2012 for evaluation of stoves for protection
from risk of burns and other injuries, but safety is not evaluated in the EPA reports.
Cooking power is not an IWA performance indicator, but it is reported because it can be important for
meeting user needs.
Fuel burning rates are reported to define the test conditions.
IWA tier ratings are based on the performance of the stove system operated as intended with low-
moisture fuel. Additional test results are provided in the reports for energy efficiency, fuel use, and air
pollutant emissions for both low- and high-moisture fuel. Discussion of results, observations, and
quality assurance is also included in each report.
Following are brief descriptions of cookstoves with test results published in FY 2016.

Test Report - BioLite™ HomeStove™ with Wood Fuel-Air Pollutant Emissions and Fuel Efficiency
5 BioLite HomeStove
The BioLite™ HomeStove™ shown in the figure is a forced-draft (fan)
type of stove. A thermoelectric generator, powered by the heat from
combustion, provides electrical power to the fan and may be used as
an auxiliary source of electricity for low-power applications such as
charging a mobile device (e.g., cellular phone) or operating a light
emitting diode (LED). The stove is designed to burn fuel wood sticks
that are manually fed into an opening in the lower front of the stove.
The fan operates automatically with no user controls and no
rechargeable battery. The HomeStove was rated at Tier 3 for total
emissions, Tier 2 for indoor emissions, and Tier 2 for energy efficiency,
with tier levels established from 0 (worst) to 4 (best). For more
information, see the full EPA report [18] and the BioLite web site [19].
Test Report - CleanCook Model A1 Stove with Alcohol Fuel - Air Pollutant Emissions and Fuel
Efficiency
The CleanCook Model A1 stove shown in the figure is an
unpressurized liquid-fuel type of stove designed for alcohol (ethanol
and/or methanol) fuel. Evaporating liquid fuel burns as a gas, and no
pressurized container or wick is required. Alcohol is contained in a
fuel tank filled with an absorptive ceramic fiber material - adding a
non-alcohol liquid fuel (such as kerosene) can damage the fuel
container. Capacity of the fuel tank is 1.2 liters. The Model A1 that
was tested has a single burner and a mechanical regulator - a lever
moves a metal disk that uncovers an opening for evaporating fuel.
The regulator can be used to adjust or extinguish the flame. The
CleanCook was rated at Tier 4 for total emissions, Tier 4 for indoor
emissions, and Tier 4 for energy efficiency, with tier levels established
from 0 (worst) to 4 (best). For more information, see the full EPA
report [20] and the CleanCook web site [21],

Test Report - IriStove 60-Liter Institutional Stove with Wood Fuel - Air Pollutant Emissions and Fuel
Efficiency
The InStove 60-Liter Institutional Stove is a natural-draft type of cookstove designed for wood or other
biomass fuel. Electrical power is not required for natural-draft stoves (power is required for some forced-
draft stoves). As shown in the figures, a chimney provides draft and may be used to vent emissions to
outside the cooking space. A rocket-type combustion chamber is located under the cooking pot. A
"sunken-pot" design provides an integral pot skirt to enhance heat transfer to the sides, as well as the
bottom, of the pot. The stove is designed to burn fuel sticks of wood or other biomass (e.g., biomass
briquettes) that are manually fed into an opening in the lower front of the stove. Cooking power is
controlled by the amount of fuel fed into the combustion chamber. A cap on top of the chimney prevents
rain from entering the stove. The stove is designed to be manufactured in a small factory. InStove has
developed drinking-water pasteurization and hospital-grade autoclave systems for use with the stove, but
EPA tested the stove with only the cooking pot. The InStove was rated at Tier 4 for total emissions, Tier 3
for indoor emissions, and Tier 4 for energy efficiency, with tier levels established from 0 (worst) to 4 (best).
For more information, see the full EPA report [22] and the InStove web site [23],

Test Report - StoveTeam International, Ecocina Stove with Wood Fuel-Air Pollutant Emissions and
Fuel Efficiency
The StoveTeam Ecocina Stove is a natural-draft rocket-type of cookstove designed for wood fuel.
Electrical power is not required for natural-draft stoves (power is required for some forced-draft stoves).
As shown in the figures, the stove may be used with a cooking pot or comal (a griddle, also known as a
plancha) for making tortillas or frying foods. For cooking with a pot, the comal may be removed to
expose the pot directly to flames and hot combustion gases for improved efficiency. A rocket-type
combustion chamber is located under the cooking pot or comal. An adjustable pot skirt enhances heat
transfer to the sides, as well as the bottom, of the pot. The stove is designed to burn sticks of fuel wood
or other biomass (e.g., corn cobs) that are manually fed into an opening in the lower front of the stove.
Cooking power is controlled by the amount of fuel fed into the combustion chamber. The stove is
manufactured with local materials in small factories in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico.
The Ecocina was rated at Tier 1 for total emissions, Tier 0 for indoor emissions, and Tier 2 for energy
efficiency, with tier levels established from 0 (worst) to 4 (best). For more information, see the full EPA
report [24] and the StoveTeam web site [25],

These EPA test reports on stove and fuel combinations are used to support the development of testing
protocols and standards, and the reports are used by Alliance partners to evaluate stoves for further
testing in the field. Performance evaluations provide incentives for developers to improve stove and
fuel technologies. Testing of additional stoves and fuels is ongoing.

Scientific Research (TNO), Utrecht, the Netherlands
Background: Emissions from solid fuels used for cooking cause ~four million premature deaths per year.
Advanced solid-fuel cookstoves are a potential solution, but they should be assessed by appropriate
performance indicators, including biological effects.
Objective: We evaluated two categories of solid-fuel cookstoves for eight pollutant and four
mutagenicity emission factors, correlated the mutagenicity emission factors, and compared them to
those of other combustion emissions.
Methods: We burned red oak in a 3-stone fire (TSF), a natural-draft stove (NDS), and a forced-draft
stove (FDS), and we combusted propane as a liquefied petroleum gas control fuel. We determined
emission factors based on useful energy (megajoules delivered, MJd) for carbon monoxide, nitrogen
oxides (NOx), black carbon, methane, total hydrocarbons, 32 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PM2.5,
levoglucosan (a wood-smoke marker), and mutagenicity in Salmonella.
Results: With the exception of NOx, the emission factors per MJd were highly correlated (r > 0.97); the
correlation for NOx with the other emission factors was 0.58-0.76. Excluding NOx, the NDS and FDS
reduced the emission factors an average of 68 and 92 %, respectively, relative to the TSF. Nevertheless,
the mutagenicity emission factor based on fuel energy used (MJthermai) for the most efficient stove (FDS)
was between those of a large diesel bus engine and a small diesel generator.
Conclusions: Both mutagenicity and pollutant emission factors may be informative for characterizing
cookstove performance. However, mutagenicity emission factors may be especially useful for
characterizing potential health effects and should be evaluated in relation to health outcomes in future
research. An FDS operated as intended by the manufacturer is safer than a TSF, but without adequate
ventilation, it will still result in poor indoor air quality.
