Clean Cooking Matters Zambia

Did you know that use of energy is a driver of climate change? In Zambia, the main energy drivers include:

1. Use of fossil fuels for transport and industry - diesel, petrol, JetA1 etc.
2. Use of coal in industry & mines. Coal for electricity production also falls in this category but carbon harvesting technologies are available and continuously being improved upon to deal with this.
3. Traditional biomass use i.e. charcoal and firewood which mostly deplete the carbon sinks (forests) and also release ghg gases.
