A compilation and analysis of data on household energy in eight non-OPEC developing countries: India, Brazil, Mexico (limited to Mexico City), Republic of Korea, the Sudan, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Guatemala. The report explores the level and composition of total fuel consumption by households at different income levels within each country. Comparisons are made between urban and rural areas in the same country, as well as among countries. For Korea and Pakistan, the study further explores the effect of household size on energy consumption. In most cases, the data reflect consumption both of commercial fuels such as oil, coal, and electricity, and of so-called noncommercial fuels such as firewood, animal dung, and crop residues. The purpose is to bring the relevant data together for use in other research, to draw tentative conclusions regarding patterns of fuel use in the household sector, and to note the policy implications of those patterns.

This volume originated as a report given to the World Bank in 1978 on the household energy consumption of both the urban and rural poor in developing countries. Originally published in 1979, this title supplies alternatives for meeting the domestic energy needs of the poor in developing countries and looks at the results of experiments in introducing new forms of energy. This book is a valuable resource for public policy makers and students interested in environmental studies and developmental studies.
