ethiopia | Energy Income alone doesn’t determine adoption and choice of fuel types: Evidence from households in Tigrai and major cities in Ethiopia It is estimated that approximately 2.5 billion people in developing countries rely on biomass fuels to meet their cooking needs. Biomass fuels are derived from living, or recently living organisms, such as wood and leaves, animal waste and other types of waste. Urban centers have long been dependent on the rural hinterlands for about 90% of their biomass fuel needs in Ethiopia. This is one of the causes of deforestation and has resulted in growing fuel scarcity and higher firewood prices. Mekonnen, A., and Köhlin, G. 2008 “Determinants of Household Fuel Choice in Major Cities in Ethiopia” Discussion Paper Series EfD DP 08-18, Environment for Development (EfD), University of Gothenburg, Göteborg, Sweden.
