What does fuel stacking tell us about clean cooking customers?
The Clean Cooking Alliance’s User Insights Lab is hosting a webinar to share findings from the largest study to date of fuel stacking in sub-Saharan Africa.
Fuel stacking鈥攖he practice of using multiple stoves and fuels in parallel鈥攊s one of the most persistent challenges facing clean cooking enterprises. It undermines business models and limits the health and climate benefits of clean cooking transitions. Despite this, the sector has historically lacked robust, comparable data on why it happens and what can be done about it.
Working with seven clean cooking companies across Kenya, Mozambique, Zambia, and Malawi,聽the聽UIL applied its fuel stacking diagnostic tool聽across more than 3,000 household surveys. The results reveal consistent patterns in why customers stack, which cooking practices drive it, and what companies can do to reduce it.
The webinar will present the study results and feature representatives聽from Emerging Cooking Solutions, a pellet stove provider who will share how they used the findings, and CLEAN-Air Africa, an academic research group who will share some of their own experiences testing fuel stacking interventions.
This webinar is the latest in the User聽Insights聽Lab’s ongoing series on user research in the clean cooking sector, run in partnership with the Modern Energy Cooking Services Programme, and will serve as the public launch of the aggregate findings report.
DATE: Tuesday 30th聽June at 7:00 EDT (New York), 12:00 BST (London), 13:00 CEST (Geneva), and 14:00 EAT (Nairobi).
