CLEAN COOKING CRISIS IN SUB SAHARAN AFRICA: CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

Sub-saharan Africa currently faces a critical challenge as population growth outpaces infrastructure development. Globally, the WHO projects that 1.8 billion people will still lack access to clean cooking by the end of the decade in developing countries. The IEA Energy Progress Report for the first time in over a decade, has revealed that the number of people without access to electricity increased. Sub-Saharan Africa, with its rapid population growth, bears the brunt, leaving 685 million people without electricity in 2022—10 million more people than in 2021.

Rising costs are straining both household budgets and national economies, as well as the rise of informal settlements in sub-saharan Africa contribute a major role to this reality. Rural areas witnessed the clean cooking fuel deficit grow from 376 million to 473 million.

Whereas in 2023, the United Nations proposed a roadmap for decarbonizing cooking fuels, electricity, and power grids. Key milestones include eliminating cooking poverty by 2030, accelerating the transition to modern cooking methods, reducing reliance on unprocessed biomass, charcoal, kerosene, and coal by 2040, and achieving net-zero clean cooking by 2050.

We（SSM） need to accelerate the design of new models to keep up with the pace of modernization, while looking at the living standards on the other side of Africa, we need to design new models and promote them, so that all the developers, investors, traders in the world can know about, buy and distribute our stoves.
