<onlyinclude>The lack of '''access to non-solid fuels''' for use in lighting, cooking, and heating is a worldwide issue that the World Health Organization estimates contributes to 4 million deaths per year.<ref name="RE1">The World Bank. (April 30, 2015). ''Tracking Access to Nonsolid Fuel for Cooking'' [Online].

In contrast, solid fuels include traditional [[biomass]] such as [[wood]], [[charcoal]], and agricultural residues along with processed biomass such as briquettes.<ref name="RE1"/>

==Health Risks==
The [[incomplete combustion]] of fuels such as charcoal and other solid fuels results in harmful and [[pollution|polluting]] smoke that poses a significant heath risk.<ref name="RE1"/> Using these fuels increases chances of death from pneumonia, stroke, heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, and other ailments.<ref name="RE2">The World Health Organization. (April 30, 2015). ''Household Air Pollution'' [Online]. Available: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs292/en/</ref>

One main issue when burning solid fuels is the [[particulate matter]] that results in [[indoor air pollution]]. Along with these particles, such as [[black carbon]], harmful smoke that includes [[carcinogen]]s and [[carbon monoxide]] is realeased with the burning of solid fuels.<ref name="RE3"/> Inhaling these particles can result in respiratory infections, particularly in young children. As well, the presence of indoor smoke results in higher levels of COPD, particularly in women who are exposed to high levels of this smoke. These women are twice as likely to suffer from COPD than women who can cook with cleaner fuels.<ref name="RE2"/> As well, lung and throat cancers are more likely due to the frequent exposure to this smoke and particulate matter.

In addition to respiratory issues that arise due to polluting smoke that is created when these inefficient fuels are burned, the use of these fuels in the home also poses significant safety risks. The risk of burns due to unsafe cooking fuels and technologies poses a major health risk to women in developing countries.<ref name="RE3"/>

==Other Negative Side Effects==
In addition to the numerous health effects, time taken to gather fuels takes time away from children and limits time for income generation or schooling. As well, in more dangerous areas women and children are at risk of violence or injury while they are obtaining this fuel.<ref name="RE2"/> As well, improper storage of these fuels is a major cause of child poisonings worldwide that leads to death and nervous system damage.<ref name="RE3"/>

==Trends==
Currently, more than two-thirds of the rural population in the world depends on solid fuels for cooking and heating, with people in Sub-Saharan Africa, Oceania, and Southern Asia having the least access. These areas contain approximately 96% of all people without access to non-solid fuels.<ref name="RE1"/> In 2010, it was estimated that 2.8 billion people did not have access to clean burning cooking fuels.<ref name="RE3">Sustainable Energy for All. (May 1, 2015). ''Universal Access'' [Online]. Available: http://www.se4all.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/7-gtf_ch2.pdf</ref>

Generally speaking, access rates are worse in [[rural population|rural areas]]. Of all the people who are without reliable access to clean burning fuels, approximately 78% of those people live in rural areas.<ref name="RE3"/> As well, the access to non-solid cooking fuels is worse in the developing world, where the rate of access to clean burning fuels ranges from 19-95%.<ref name="RE1"/> More urbanized, higher income areas generally rely more on non-solid fuel, the prime example being Western Asia as it is the wealthiest and most urbanized area in the developing region. Western Asia, in stark contrast to the lack of non-solid fuel access in other areas in Asia, has almost universal access to non-solid fuels.<ref name="RE3"/> Although Sub-Saharan Africa and numerous places in Asia are still obtaining access to non-solid fuels, Eastern Europe and Western Asia have accomplished near-universal access. Recently, the growth rate of access to non-solid fuels was much larger than the growth rate in rural areas, with rates of 1.7% versus 0.6%.<ref name="RE1"/> This is likely due to the fact that less transportation is necessary to get a large amount of alternative fuels to [[urban population|urban centers]] than to distribute them in rural areas.

Without changes being actively made, the total number of people relying on solid fuels for heating and cooking will likely remain unchanged in the future.<ref name="RE2"/> Recommendations to increase this access includes focusing on 20 countries that account for 85% of people without reliable access to non-solid fuels. These countries are all located in Asia or Sub-Saharan Africa. Of these 20 countries, most are located in Asia.

==Improvements==
From 1990 to 2010, 20 countries managed to provide 1.2 billion people with access to non-solid fuel, with the greatest growth in India, China, and Brazil, where wealth overall was increasing. In these regions, 738 million people secured access to liquid or gas fuel sources.<ref name="RE3"/> In addition to this, rates in urban and rural centers continue to rise. However, in order to keep up with increasing population in these areas, these rates must increase significantly to continue to allow a larger number of people to have access to safe, more cleanly burning fuels for cooking, heating, and lighting.

==Interactive map==
Access to non-solid fuels differs drastically across the globe. Below is a map showing the percentage of a country's population that had access to non-solid fuel in 2010.<ref>World Bank. (May 4, 2015). ''Access to non-solid fuel (% population'' [Online]. Available: http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.NSF.ACCS.ZS</ref> Note that the methodology doesn't distinguish numbers below 5% or above 95% access, which is why Canada is listed as having 95% access.
