The Path to Clean Cooking Through Scaled Innovation
Join the Business Council for International Understanding for a panel discussion hosted on the margins of the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 80), focused on unpacking the global clean cooking transition. The panel, hosted in partnership with the U.S. Grains Council, will bring together experts and policymakers to examine the current landscape of clean cooking, with a focus on global challenges and emerging opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Clean cooking refers to the use of energy-efficient, non-polluting fuels and technologies, such as electricity, LPG, biogas, ethanol, and improved biomass stoves, to reduce the severe health and environmental impacts of traditional cooking methods. Today, 2.3 billion people around the world still lack access to clean cooking solutions.
This panel will spotlight the use of ethanol as a clean cooking fuel, and explore topics such as the removal of tariff barriers, the development and adoption of ethanol fuel standards at regional and national levels, and the vital role of policy reform and cross-sector collaboration. By fostering dialogue on scalable and inclusive strategies, the event seeks to accelerate progress toward universal access to clean cooking, while advancing broader health, environmental, and development objectives.
