モザンビークの天然ガス豊富な地域において、家庭の調理用燃料選択の決定要因を混合手法で分析。所得向上は電気・LPG・バイオマス選択の確率を高めるが、天然ガス地域ではバイオマス選択が96.2%低下。都市部・高学歴層ほどクリーン燃料へ移行しやすい一方、インフラ問題が天然ガスからバイオマスへの逆移行を招く。政策として天然ガス普及とシステム投資の重要性を指摘。
English
This mixed-methods study identifies determinants of household cooking fuel choice in Mozambique's natural gas-rich peripheries. Higher income increases odds of choosing electricity, LPG, and biomass, but in gas-rich areas, biomass odds drop by 96.2%. Urban and educated households are more likely to switch to clean fuels, but infrastructure issues cause back-sliding to biomass. Policy recommendations prioritize gas allocation and system investment.

In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence on household energy transition in a natural gas-rich developing country, highlighting the role of gas as a transition fuel and the risk of infrastructure-driven backsliding. It contributes to global debates on just energy transitions and clean cooking access in the Global South.

🏛政策担当者:Policymakers in energy-rich developing countries can use findings to design targeted interventions for clean cooking adoption and to mitigate backsliding due to infrastructure failures.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Mozambique possesses significant natural gas resources. Yet, a vast majority of its population relies on solid biomass for cooking, resulting in detrimental effects on health, livelihoods, and productivity, as well as devastating environmental impacts. Domestic use of these resources could boost energy productivity, security and support sustainable development. We conducted a mixed-methods study involving interviews, descriptive statistics, and a multinomial logistic regression model. For this study, data was gathered from a random survey of 434 households in natural gas-rich peripheries within Northern Inhambane and Maputo City aiming to identify determinants of household energy choice for cooking. The results showed that as the income increases, the odds of choosing electricity, LPG, and biomass increase. Notably, in energy-rich peripheries, the odds of choosing biomass as an alternative fuel to natural gas are reduced by 96.2% when compared to non-energy-rich regions. The urban and more educated dwellers were more likely to switch to electricity and LPG. Energy infrastructure and system-related incidents were key reasons for switching away from natural gas to biomass. Based on these findings and given natural gas’s preference as a transition cooking fuel in energy-rich peripheries, the government should prioritize investment in energy systems, allocate more domestic gas, and promote its use. This effort aims to enhance access to clean cooking and raise public awareness of its health and environmental benefits.
