Industry Development

The Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) works with a global network of partners to build an inclusive industry that makes clean cooking accessible to the three billion people who live each day without it.

Achieving universal access to clean cooking solutions requires scaling up a range of technologies and business models. CCA’s industry development work is built around three core pillars:

Driving consumer demand for cleaner, more modern stoves and fuels by supporting behavior change and awareness-raising interventions;
Mobilizing investment; and
Fostering an enabling environment for industry growth by advocating for effective and predictable policies, providing trusted, relevant data, and serving as the convener and champion of the clean cooking sector.

Cooking Industry Catalyst

The Cooking Industry Catalyst is a global industry development program launched by CCA in 2020. The program has three components: Venture Catalyst, Demand Catalyst, Market Catalyst.

Catalytic Finance Accelerator

CCA's primary vehicle for mobilizing investment is the Catalytic Finance Accelerator, a coalition of investors and other actors representing the clean cooking, carbon, and financial markets.

Venture Accelerator

The Venture Accelerator aims to nurture early-stage ventures that are poised to tackle the most pressing challenges currently preventing clean cooking solutions from scaling up.

CCA is leading the development of a country action plan for transforming the cookstoves and fuels market in Nepal, helping the government meet its target of universal access to electricity and electricity-based cooking by 2030.

Spark+ Africa Fund

SPARK+ Africa is a pioneering impact investment fund launched by Enabling Qapital and the Clean Cooking Alliance to channel debt and equity financing to enterprises that manufacture, distribute and finance clean cooking solutions across Sub-Saharan Africa.
