Energy access, energy security, and energy transition are vital both at the global and national levels. This necessitates the availability of robust, consistent, and reliable energy data, which can help in understanding the energy profile of a country. Furthermore, it aids in assessing the impact of various policies and programs. In the current era, where energy transition holds high priority, having robust energy data can assist policymakers in formulating data-backed policies that support countries in achieving their environmental and developmental commitments in the coming years.

Indoor air pollution is a critical issue in rural areas. The use of biomass in the traditional household cookstove of the rural areas is also an important source of atmospheric black carbon. Conventional cooking methods have also been reported as important source of ambient air pollution in different cities. Promoting cleaner fuels like LPG to remote rural areas has different issues. In West Bengal, many rural households still depend on cooking in traditional cookstoves using locally available biomass materials.

TERI has installed around 25000 cookstoves in Bihar. From the use of these stoves, carbon credits are being generated. TERI with the support from VNV Advisory Services are able to sell these carbon credits and generate revenue. The same fund is being utilized for maintenance and replacement of cookstove and other components in Bihar engaging the women energy entrepreneurs. TERI has been setting up women energy enterprises who are being engaged in maintenance and servicing of cookstoves in different districts of Bihar.
