Kerosene uses

Kerosene consumption in the IGAD sub-region has increased steadily by an average of over 7% per annum since the mid-1980s. Governments have responded to growing urban demand for kerosene, to concerns about the effects of urban energy demand on forests, and on equity concerns for the urban poor by increasing their imports of kerosene. Ethiopia now spends over US$ 20 million per annum on household kerosene compared to US$ 3 million in 1986.

Land-locked Uganda spends nearly US$ 10 million on kerosene, while Kenya spends nearly US$ 40 on kerosene. In each case, kerosene imports represent a major drain on foreign exchange and have a significant effect on the balance of payments. These kerosene imports have positive effects on each country's forests and relieve the drudgery of cooking with charcoal and wood, but kerosene could be used more sustainably, and more sustainable solutions (e.g. battery charging, PV systems, micro-hydropower, etc.) could also be found for meeting energy demand.

There are a number of means to meet lighting demands. Candles remain the most widely-used lighting source in the world. Kerosene follows candles as the next most widely used energy source for lighting.

There are a number of kerosene lamps, ranging from simple wick kerosene lamps (simple to "hurricane" with a glass globe) to high pressure kerosene (or "paraffin" as it is known in many parts of the world) lamps.

Absorption refrigerators operate on a heat cycle normally powered by a kerosene or gas burner. A flame or heat element powers the heating cycle, which creates the cooling affect. Because of their high energy consumption, PV should never be used to power absorption fridges. Kerosene and LPG fridges may present a fire hazard, and kerosene fridges emit particulates (and/or gases) which may make them inappropriate in some situations Several studies recommend PV or LPG fridges over kerosene fridges for vaccine use.

Technology Availability: Kerosene and LPG absorption refrigerators are available throughout the tropics and in both the developing and the developed world. Both types are available in standard sizes (e.g., 300 - 600 litres for cooling, 50 - 100 litres for freezing). They can be used in isolated clinics, hospitals, schools, restaurants, cafes, butcheries, hotels, homes and camps.

Fuel/Energy Availability: Kerosene fridges are ordinarily refilled with fuel on a weekly basis, while LPG fridges are refilled on a more intermittent basis. Kerosene/paraffin is widely and relatively easily available. LPG poses far more difficulties, particularly in rural and remote situations. LPG bottles must be purchased, and supplies are often irregular outside urban areas.

Spare Parts and Service: Kerosene/paraffin and LPG refrigerators are relatively reliable. Kerosene fridges require their wicks and mantles to be changed or adjusted regularly (weekly), and hence need frequent attention (though not by highly skilled technicians). Kerosene refrigerators also need to be cleaned regularly because of the soot build-up in the exhaust flue. Kerosene refrigerators have far fewer maintenance requirements. Note that finding spare parts for a kerosene fridge can be problematic in some locations.

Optimum Situation: Absorption fridges are best where self-contained units are necessary. Kerosene-powered units are better in many remote situations because of kerosene's wide availability.
