About
With the vision of enhancing the use of improved cookstove technologies, Dr Farooq Abdullah, Minister of New and Renewable Energy inaugurated the India Clean Cookstove Forum 2013 (ICCF) organised jointly by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH operating on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) on 25 and 26 November 2013 in New Delhi, India.
With more than 150 participants, the forum was the largest national event on clean cooking solutions that has ever been organised in India. During the event all relevant stakeholders in the Indian cookstove sector discussed potential solutions to the most significant challenges hindering the large-scale adoption of improved cookstoves.
In his speech Dr Farooq Abdullah said “increased use of clean and efficient cookstoves is crucial to reduce the burden of disease from indoor air pollution as well to avoid the overuse of biomass resources.”
Following up on the results of the discussions, the Indo-German Energy Programme Renewable Energy Component (IGEN-RE), a cooperation project between MNRE and GIZ on behalf of BMZ will develop marketing and awareness campaigns, as well as pilot innovative mechanisms for end-user financing. Furthermore the development of a web-based platform will be initiated to support manufacturers and distributors of improved cookstoves in creating an open space for knowledge sharing among each other.
