Biomass use in urban households 14 , by contrast, declined on average by 0.5%<br />

per year between 1990 and 2005, reflecting higher incomes, the higher cost of<br />

fuelwood in urban areas and the greater availability of kerosene and LPG.<br />

Demand is projected to fall by 15% over the <strong>Outlook</strong> period, and the share of<br />

biomass in urban household energy use will be a mere 12% in 2030. Switching<br />

from traditional fuels to kerosene, LPG and electricity occurs at a much more<br />

rapid pace in urban areas, where households have both more choice and more<br />

cash.<br />
