Cooking fuels share the largest part of primary energy consumption in therural areas of Bangladesh. Understanding the demand situation of the cooking fuels facilitates the rural energy planning in Bangladesh. This study investigates the demand of biomass fuels for cooking through rural household and market survey in the rural areas. It adopted a cluster sampling technique to select 60 households from four villages of two unions under Palash Upazila of Narsingdi district. The major cooking fuels consumed by the households were firewood, branches, leaves-and-twigs, bamboo, rice straw, rice husk and jute stick. Price elasticity of demand of firewood was 0.317 revealing that fire wood was an inelastic market commodity in that area. It is expected that this study will be helpful for rural energy development in Bangladesh.
