Abstract: Abstract This chapter investigates hurdles in fuel choice and identifies stage-based socio-economic determinants at household level in rural India. Using NSSO data, this chapter estimates double hurdle model. Firewood consumption decision is based on two stage decision: (i) whether households participate on firewood consumption; and (ii) amount of firewood consumption, if participate. Empirical findings indicate that income significantly determines quantity consumption, not firewood choice decision. Firewood consumption declines with increasing education level of household head, while women-headed households consume relatively less firewood compared to that of men.
