Not really. Wood or coal stoves are still very much in use in villages. At least that's what I saw living in many developing countries for the past two decades.

Btw, burning biomass would not change the problem. Wood and charcoal is biomass too.
- senorjazz 6y agoPeople in Kathmandu are using gas. That's a few million people. Sure in the villages, but the numbers pale in comparison
- 101404 6y agoWrong again. In developing countries, a majority of people live in the countryside. That's one thing that differentiates those countries from developed countries. But that's not really important, because even if only 20% of households used wood/coal for cooking, it is very much noticiable.
