In mountainous areas in which fuel transportation is expensive and unreliable, #solar electric #cooking and heating can help reduce #biomass burning. When the sun is not shining, high efficiency wood or pallet burning #improvedstoves should be used because black carbon particulate will accelerate melting of ice caps. This is important for the people living in #Georgia as well as us that need more ice-cover for the water supply and reduced global warming. Assuming solar electric cooking is applicable 70% of the time, and the improved wood-burning stove has 3 times the efficiency of open-fire cooking, the overall biomass needed is only 10% of the original, which can be provided from biomass wastes.

That's right: "Every country faces their own specific challenges for the transition". This means that technology neutrality shoulb always be applied when speaking about energy transtion.
