Abstract

This study applies a mixed-methods approach to assess the scalability of bioethanol adoption, integrating qualitative focus group discussions and an expert poll leveraging a modified Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). By systematically ranking and evaluating key influencing factors, the study provides an evidence-based assessment of Tanzania’s clean cooking transition.

This research is part of the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) programme.
