Ministry of Energy Collaborates with Stakeholders on Clean Cooking Project

The Ministry of Energy has partnered with the Energy Commission to engage stakeholders on a clean cooking project, aiming to promote sustainable energy solutions and improve the lives of Ghanaians.

According to Mrs. Doris Duodu, Head of Bioenergy Unit and Clean Cooking Sector at the Ministry of Energy, the project seeks to address environmental, health, social, and economic challenges associated with traditional cooking methods.

The Ministry of Energy is promoting alternative sources of energy, such as biogas and improved cookstoves, to supplement firewood and charcoal. This initiative aims to reduce the impact of traditional cooking methods on the environment and public health.

Mrs. Doris Duodu emphasized the devastating impact of cutting down trees for charcoal and firewood on Ghana’s climate change. She also highlighted the harmful effects of traditional cooking methods on women’s health, who are often exposed to pollutants from these methods.

The Ministry of Energy is committed to promoting sustainable energy solutions that improve the lives of Ghanaians. The engagement with stakeholders on the clean cooking project is a key step towards achieving this goal.

Mrs. Doris Duodu stressed the importance of partnerships with other bodies to promote investment in the clean cooking sector. She also highlighted the need for awareness campaigns to educate Ghanaians about the benefits of clean cooking.

Dr. Robert Sobadji, Deputy Director of Renewable and Green Transition at the Ministry of Energy, encouraged Ghanaians to adopt the improved cooking methods introduced by the ministry.
