| Abstract | Residential cooking contributes a significant amount of air pollution emission in Hanoi Capital Region. This study conducted an emission inventory for residential cooking in Hanoi (29 districts in three areas) for the base year 2012. The inventory results for 11 common pollutants including particulate matter (PM), particulate black carbon (BC), organic carbon (OC), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), nitrogen oxides (NOx), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC), carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrous oxide (N₂O) and methane (CH₄) in tonnes per year were, respectively, 30,459, 3,931, 8,014, 5,412, 873,360, 1,235, 15,548, 14,706, 16,246,995, 246 and 15,548. Fuel consumption in dry season is slightly higher than in rainy season hence the emission in dry season was about 6% higher. Air pollution and the climate co-benefit in term of the global warming potential (GWP) metrics were assessed for 3 scenarios of fuel-stoves. The highest emission reduction is belonged to scenario 3 with the most clean fuel option in all areas. Under this scenario, air pollution emission reductions by 96-100% compared to base case while the CO₂-eq reduction is 99%. Further study should use larger sample size in Hanoi Capital Region and include the cooking activities for commercial purpose. |
