About this project

This Programme of Activities outlines a comprehensive plan for the implementation of a bioethanol clean cooking programme in Ghana. The programme aims to address the challenges of traditional cooking fuels, promote clean energy access, and improve the health and well-being of communities. By utilizing bioethanol as a clean cooking fuel and establishing an efficient distribution network, the programme seeks to reduce the reliance on biomass fuels, minimize indoor air pollution, and contribute to sustainable development in Ghana. The transition to this more economic, efficient, and environmentally-sound cookstove will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the cooking process as well as contribute to a number of other sustainable development goals. The programme aims to achieve the following five main objectives: (1) establish local capacity for bioethanol fuel production and distribution, (2) distribute over 700,000 bioethanol stoves over the course of the first 6 years of the programme with the potential to develop more cookstoves further, (3) ensure sustainable and environmentally friendly production of bioethanol, (4) foster economic growth and job creation especially in rural communities, (5) increase access to safe and clean cooking in Ghana.
