Off-grid solar electric cooking (e-cooking) technologies is a dual solution encompassing both climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies
Globally, cooking with biomass amounts for as much as 2 percent of CO2 emissions. Given the rapid advances and price reductions in solar e-cooking technologies, there is an opportunity to scale these solutions to help close the emissions gap and deliver a range of co-benefits.
However, a range of supply and demand-side interventions are needed to enable the provision of affordable financing for households to purchase solar e-cooking systems.
This report underscores the significance of energy for cooking as a pivotal climate issue, in addition to being a critical concern for economic development, health, gender equality and the local environment in low-income countries.
