Clean Cooking Promotion

Biomass energy use represents approximately 15 percent of total global energy use and helps meet the cooking needs of approximately 2.5 billion people.

Replacing traditional open fire cooking with improved cook-stoves (ICS) has a global mitigation potential between 0.6 and 2.4 Giga tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year while saving thousands of lives.

Amshaamsha Foundation accelerates the growth of the ICS sector with a market transformation that significantly increases production and sales of improved cook-stoves (ICS), especially in remote and rural areas.
