The document evaluates two priority pathways: household biogas generated from animal dung and solid biomass utilized in improved cookstoves. Structured around the application and interpretation of twenty-four indicators, the study assesses environmental, social, and economic impacts to inform decision-making processes. Key findings show modern pathways dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and kitchen smoke compared to traditional open fires, though fuel stacking persists.
