Gender inclusion is crucial for attaining an equitable energy transition. Therefore, there should be intentional efforts to include women in the global transition to clean energy, especially in Africa, where women are already underrepresented. This podcast episode – Nigeria’s Clean Cooking Future – explores an issue which disproportionately affects Nigerian women; access to clean cooking.
According to the World Bank, firewood and other polluting fuels for cooking account for approximately two per cent of global emissions. These fuels also pose significant health risks as they cause respiratory illnesses and deaths among women and children.
Safiya Aliyu, General Manager, SOSAI Renewable Energies Company, joins me to discuss the current challenges of clean cooking in Nigeria and possible solutions. She also talks about SOSAI’s plans to scale up clean cooking in the country.
