Clean cookstove market needs 'wholesale reappraisal' — Rachel Kyte

"Restarting the sector will require tackling a number of key bottlenecks.
The first is that with a few notable exceptions, including India and
Indonesia, there is a lack of political support and prioritization for the
clean cooking agenda in most of the countries surveyed, according to Kyte,
who said a “step change in the level of political commitment” for the
sector is needed.

Another major stumbling block, which feeds into the first, is that
investors have tended to focus on cooking technologies, such as improved
cookstoves, while neglecting the cleaner fuels market. “By focusing on
cookstoves we may have ... missed [the] problem of access to clean fuel
sources,” Kyte said.

In response, she said it is time for “frank dialogue” between the different
actors in the clean fuel space — including those working on LPG gas,
biogas, ethanol, and solar induction technologies — in order “to get a
range of fuel options into cities and rural areas,” she said."
