abstract = {Access to cleaner and affordable energy options is essential for improving
the livelihoods of the poor in developing countries. The link between energy
and poverty is demonstrated by the fact that the poor in developing countries
constitute the bulk of an estimated 2.7 billion people relying on traditional
biomass for cooking and the overwhelming majority of the 1.3 billion without
access to grid electricity (IEA, 2015a). The Brazilian Amazon region and the
Colombian isolated areas – despite their national electrification rate of 99.5%
and 97.1% respectively – account to about 2.4 million of people without
electricity access. When it comes to cooking this number grows eightfold,
almost 20 million people within these two countries rely on the traditional use
of biomass for cooking. In fact, 6% of Brazilians and 15% of Colombians
cook using firewood (IEA, 2015b).},
