Market Development

A thriving market cannot be realized without demand from consumers for cleaner cookstoves and fuels. Raising consumer awareness of the issue and ensuring availability and affordability of cleaner technologies are critical to driving demand.

Achieving universal adoption of clean cookstoves and fuels requires a sufficient supply of the products that customers value, at prices they can afford. This means supporting innovation, ensuring sufficient capital to clean cooking businesses, and including women in the value-chain.

The Alliance aims to increase access to carbon finance to help fund the adoption of clean cooking solutions at scale. The Carbon Finance Platform is a comprehensive and interactive knowledge sharing platform built by the Alliance to provide how-to guides, tools, templates, and case studies to assist stakeholders with varying levels of carbon expertise.
