<br />Information on fuel for cooking is relevant in assessing energy planning decisions, energy conservation programs, and in developing marketing strategies. It also serves as a benchmark for the study of changes in household energy use and user patterns over time. Likewise, it is helpful in monitoring supply and demand requirements for alternative fuels.
<br />Ask the respondent, "What kind of fuel does this household use most of the time for cooking?" Mark the corresponding box for the appropriate item. If two or more kinds of cooking fuel are used (for instance, electricity and LPG, LPG and wood, kerosene and charcoal, and other combinations), report the fuel used most of the time for cooking. The choices for types of fuel used for cooking are as follows:</p>
<div class="i1">[] 1. Electricity<br />[] 2. Kerosene (gaas)<br />[] 3. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)<br />[] 4. Charcoal<br />[] 5. Wood<br />[] 6. Others, specify<br />[] 0. None</div><p>If the household uses a power-generating machine for cooking, report the fuel used to run the generator.
