Billions of people globally use solid biomass fuels, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. In Ghana, over half the population uses charcoal or wood for cooking, despite having access to liquid petroleum gas, due to availability and cost issues. This reliance on polluting fuels leads to significant health risks and financial burdens, with over 17,000 annual deaths from indoor air pollution. Ethanol, derived from sugarcane and waste molasses, offers a cleaner alternative. This project aims to provide sustainable ethanol fuel for urban households in Ghana, managed by a cooperative of women. It involves training women in ethanol production and stove fabrication, creating a local ethanol refinery, and distributing ethanol-fueled stoves. The project focuses on youth and women, aiming for broader impact by addressing urgent energy needs with clean, efficient cooking solutions.
