Supporting Global scale up of electric cooking, from niche technology to mainstream living
关于我们
The Global electric Cooking Coalition (GeCCo) is comprised of eCooking advocates who work alongside other existing global and national initiatives promoting higher-tier cooking transitions by providing leadership, integration, knowledge, and funding that is exclusively focused on the rapid global scaling of electric cooking. The coalition represents a working group of partners and provides a platform for engagement to unify work, avoid duplication and optimise output quality. According to the latest 2023 SDG7 Tracking Report some 2.3 billion people globally still cook using traditional polluting fuels and technologies. In fact, the ESMAP 2020 report The State of Access to Modern Energy Cooking Services (our emphasis) identified 4 billion as not having access to modern energy cooking (higher tier stoves that have such low household air pollution that they don’t affect health). While black carbon emissions dissipate quickly, their impacts are far-reaching. The WHO estimates that premature deaths from indoor air pollution total nearly 3.2 million annually, including about 237,000 children under the age of five who are more prone to pneumonia due to smoke exposure. In addition, annually a gigaton of CO2 emissions comes from burning non-renewable biomass fuels for cooking (about 2 per cent of the global total and equivalent to the amount produced by the aviation sector), whilst the burning of residential solid fuels comprises 58 per cent of global black carbon emissions. As household smoke is therefore both an agent of climate change and air pollution, substantial scale up of electric cooking solutions.

A new blog 'eCooking in School Kitchens - A Recipe for Sustainability and Decarbonisation in Nepal and Beyond' has been launched. In order to accelerate urgently needed transitions to electric cooking (eCooking) and the multiple health, environmental, social and economic benefits they can bring, it makes sense to target interventions which can be achieved comparatively easily, cost effectively and that reach large numbers of people. A growing body of research highlights how eCooking initiatives in schools and childcare facilities particularly meet this criteria as they typically: - have simple, consistent menus that match the strengths of eCooking appliances;? - cook outside of peak electricity demand hours, meaning eCooking transitions are unlikely to overburden networks and may provide additional revenue for utilities where eCooking absorbs daytime surplus electricity generation. - have relatively low eCooking implementation costs and can take a longer term view of returns on investment;? - can play an educational role to raise awareness in communities and provide showcasing opportunities; - and have potential to efficiently deliver a range of social, environmental, and health benefits to large numbers of people. Drawing on these points, this blog highlights how?delivering eCooking in schools is in many ways relatively straightforward to achieve and should be more actively and dynamically pursued. Focussing on Nepal, this blog calls for?school eCooking transitions to be a?much more prominent part of the country’s policy framework, complementing existing national policy commitments to household eCooking and the Government’s free school meal programme. This call is particularly timely given the key policy document shaping Nepal’s eCooking and broader climate ambitions, the ‘Third Nationally Determined Contribution Plan’ (Third NDC), is currently under development for release this year.

In partnership with the Government of Laos PDR, the MECS programme has an invitation to tender for the development of the Laos PDR National eCooking Strategy!
Management Team, Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) programme. Accelerating access to clean, electric cooking on a global scale.
We are excited to announce the launch of a new tender for?‘The Development of a National eCooking strategy for Laos PDR’. This is aimed at consultancy organisations equipped to carry out specific eCooking studies and synthesise existing material. Organisations will be expected to identify political, financial, and economic strategies to overcome existing barriers identified in the Laos eCooking Readiness Assessment, including financing models for the private sector and civil society.? The tender is open to any suitably qualified organisation (or a consortium of organisations) from the Asia Pacific region although as the development of the National strategy is being undertaken in collaboration with the Government of Laos PDR, preference will therefore be given to an organisation(s) from Laos PDR. The total budget is not to exceed ￡140,000 and will be for a duration of eight months, starting?March 2025.? Deadline: The tender is open until 23:55 (GMT) on Friday 14th?February 2025.

So often, there is an assumption that eCooking in developing regions is somehow 'putting the cart before the horse'. MECS programme attempts to dispel some of the myths and (incorrect) assumptions around eCooking, to demonstrate how developing countries might leapfrog interim technologies and capitalise on renewable energy sources
Struggling to imagine if electric cooking could work in Africa? You're not alone. It raises eyebrows and sparks scepticism for many. That's why we're tackling the boldest, most uncomfortable questions we receive to show what it truly takes to make eCooking a reality across the continent.

?? A Major Milestone for Sierra Leone's Sustainable Energy Future ?? Today, His Excellency Julius Maada Bio, President of Sierra Leone, officially launched the country's Energy Transition and Green Growth Plan at the Climate Resilience Energy Transition Dialogue in Freetown. This ambitious roadmap—crafted under the guidance of the Presidential Initiative on Climate Change, Renewable Energy and Food Security, the Ministry of Energy, and with technical support from SEforALL—marks a pivotal moment for Sierra Leone. The plan features a low-carbon pathway, reducing reliance on biomass and oil and enhancing the role of clean energy, aligned with national priorities like the Feed Salone Strategy and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). At SEforALL, we’re proud to support Sierra Leone’s journey, empowering communities with clean, reliable energy through initiatives like the Sierra Leone Healthcare Electrification Project and mini-grids powered through Universal Energy Facility. Here’s what our Deputy CEO Stefano Marguccio had to say: “Today marks the beginning of something extraordinary – a milestone in Sierra Leone’s Energy Transition and Green Growth journey. This transition is not the task of one organization, one government or one industry alone. It is a collective effort. By joining forces and aligning our goals, we can harness the power of technology, collaboration and policy to achieve cleaner energy solutions. SEforALL is committed to driving change that supports sustainable growth and a just transition for all Sierra Leoneans.” #EnergyTransition #GreenGrowth #SierraLeone #TransformingLives #TransitioningEnergy Nashwa Naushad, Anita Otubu, Emeka Oragunye, Marilena Lazopoulou, Tamojit Chatterjee, Ava Strasser, Rosemary Idem, Ngozi Beckley-Lines, Kandeh YUMKELLA, Alvin Jose, Ioannis Pappis, Ph.D., Iqlima Fuqoha, Anant Wadhwa (MBA, M.Sc.), Yogitha Miriyala, Alice Uwamaliya, Alexandros Korkovelos

Can you imagine being incentivised to actively use a product you already bought? That’s the reality for customers of companies selling eCooking appliances through carbon finance projects. In my latest blog, I discuss the parallels between product-service systems, IoT technology, and personalised customer service within the clean cooking sector.

Very interesting results on this MECS programme report. “eCooking is feasible and cost-effective in many mini-grid contexts and can enable cost savings for consumers and increased profitability for mini-grid operators. Its benefits are particularly evident when it is integrated into mini-grid planning from the start.” We should always include #CleanCooking in #EnergyAccess pre-feasibility studies. Cooking must be integrated as a key energy demand in the planning and regulation of energy systems, especially those serving low-income communities. In fact, cooking often represents the highest energy demand in these households. Without clean cooking, there can be no true #JustEnergyTransition.

New publication just launched! A new MECS briefing note, by Will Clements, Simon Batchelor and Jerome Nsengiyaremye, summarises the findings of 7 MECS challenge fund projects across 7 different countries which developed business plans for integrating eCooking into planned or existing mini-grids, including technical & financial modelling. The briefing note summarises key findings of the Cooking Support on Mini-grids (COSMO) Phase 1 Synthesis Report. The conclusion of the Synthesis Report is that eCooking is feasible and cost-effective in many mini-grid contexts and can enable cost savings for consumers and increased profitability for mini-grid operators. Its benefits are particularly evident when it is integrated into mini-grid planning from the start. Comprehensive and realistic technical and financial modelling assessing different levels of eCooking penetration and usage is essential for determining mini-grid upgrade requirements and resulting financial feasibility.
