Actually, charcoal is widely used in Benin, especially in the urban region where I live (Cotonou). A lot of people working on domestic energies agree it is likely to be the case in the coming decades. I think this situation is similar in many African countries, and in developing countries in general. Commercially and ecologically speaking, it does make sense to sell charcoal-efficient stoves. The goal would be to diminish consumption to more than 40% compared to the traditionnal "Malgache" stove.
