Using data from the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) and the Continuous PNAD, this study examined energy choices for cooking in urban households and their impact on poverty reduction. Employing statistical models, it was found that traditional energy sources are present in cooking fuel choices, and households relying on them are more likely to be trapped in poverty. On the other hand, clean energy sources reduce poverty prevalence. Education and income diversification programs can facilitate an immediate shift towards clean energy and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study highlights the urgency of the situation and the need for actions to address energy poverty in cooking.
