There is a need for governments and businesses to help develop bigger and sustainable markets that provide clean cooking fuels, such as liquid petroleum gas (LPG), ethanol and clean burning wood pellets, as well as clean technologies such as improved cooking stoves.
The latest Tracking SDG7: Energy Progress Report provides additional examples of how countries are using market-based strategies to reach more people more quickly with clean cooking fuels and technologies. Among them is Cameroon, which has doubled its clean cooking access numbers in the past decade, with 20 percent of the population now cooking with LPG stoves and a goal of reaching 50 percent by 2030. Indonesia and Bangladesh have made similar gains with LPG-focused national strategies.
