Demand assessment under rural conditions should integrate all of the users’ energy requirements to meet their needs, including food preparation. For this reason, it is relevant to have figures that incorporate cooking and make it possible to quantify demand in terms of both power and energy (Hernández, 2018; Villamizar, 2023). Food engineering literature contains solutions to this problem involving a significant number of variables that make analyses more complex. However, this issue has been addressed in practical terms by internationally recognized researchers, who have proposed following an experimental methodology to quantitatively determine energy consumption, whether based on the stove, the container, or the food. This assessment was conducted under tropical rural conditions. The results showed that, among the available energy options, the use of biogas for cooking is a technical, economic, environmental, and social solution that fully meets this demand.
