最近，有人认为，与早期的能源阶梯思维相反，发展中国家的家庭不会转向现代能源，而是倾向于消耗多种燃料的组合。本文旨在更好地了解燃料替代和燃料补充的相对重要性，特别是木炭、燃料块和煤油，以及与这些选择相关的因素。在本文中，我们介绍了 2010 年 10 月在肯尼亚内罗毕基贝拉贫民窟进行的家庭调查结果。结果显示，不同的家庭特征影响着对烹饪用木炭和煤球的需求。除了这些因素外，家庭收入水平也会影响做饭时煤油的使用。同时，我们发现，随着收入的增加，家庭倾向于转向多种燃料策略，而不是完全从传统燃料的消费转向现代能源。
Recently, it has been argued that, contrary to earlier energy ladder thinking, households in developing countries do not switch to modern energy sources but instead tend to consume a combination of fuels. This article aimed to gather a better understanding of the relative importance of fuel substitution and fuel complementation, especially among charcoal, fuel briquettes and kerosene, and the factors associated with these choices. In this paper we present results of a household survey conducted during October 2010 in Kibera slums in Nairobi, Kenya. The results revealed that widely various household characteristics influence demand for charcoal and briquettes for cooking. In addition to these factors, the household income level affects the use of kerosene for cooking. At the same time, we found the fact households tend to switch to multiple fuels strategy as their increasing in income instead of completely switching from the consumption of traditional fuels to modern energy sources.
