IEA Ministerial hosts high-level dialogue to accelerate clean cooking and energy access
…on priority actions to accelerate deployment and mobilise additional capital.IEA analysis presented during the session shows that Africa could achieve universal access to clean cooking by 2040 by replicating policies that have delivered the fastest rates of progress globally. The World Energy Outlook 2025 introduced an Accelerating Clean Cooking and Electricity Scenario (ACCESS). In that scenario, LPG provides clean cooking access to over 60% of those currently lacking it, with electricity providing access to a further 17%, bioethanol and biogas to 11%, and advanced biomass cookstoves to the remainder. Achieving this pathway would require investment of around $2 bil...
