The research explores why charcoal is still a popular energy alternative
even where grid connections are prevalent because charcoal production
has several implications, mainly energy-related forest loss, acute in the

management along this value chain, as well as public health implications
from charcoal consumption. Currently, she is a Project Coordinator
for Energy Efficiency in Washington DC, at the District of Columbia’s
Sustainable Energy Utility (DCSEU).
