Clean Cooking Alliance to Develop First Geospatial Data Platform for Clean Cooking in Partnership with World Resources Institute
Summary
“We are excited to help CCA build a pioneering tool for the clean cooking sector,” said Davida Wood, WRI’s Global Energy Access and Governance Lead. The tool will empower users to leverage optimal technology mixes for specific regions based on existing and potential demand and supply trends. We are looking forward to working with the team to ensure the CCE is relevant and effective for our clean cooking sector.” As requested by the GoN, CCA is also developing a Country Action Plan for Transforming the Cookstoves and Fuels Market in Nepal. “Many countries are at a critical juncture in determining what a sustainable, equitable, and appropriate energy transition looks like,” said Donee Alexander, Senior Director of Evidence and Impact at CCA. “Nepal’s commitment to clean cooking makes it a natural starting point for this kind of data-driven planning, but we anticipate that variations of the CCE could be useful to many other governments and private sector players as they consider countries’ unique energy needs.” The development of the CCE will be supported by the consulting firm Kartoza and the Energy Systems division of KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden (KTH-dES), who will also provide training for users.
