Cooking with Ethanol: Benefits, key challenges and lessons learned

Over the last ten years, organizations like Project Gaia Inc. and its partners have been promoting clean cookstoves that are powered by ethanol, and have worked to help communities become energy independent by establishing locally-owned microdistilleries and sustainable commercial models. On July 7, 2015 Winrock International and the U.S. EPA hosted a webinar titled "Cooking with Ethanol: Benefits, key challenges, and lessons learned". Speakers from Project Gaia Inc., Green Social Bioethanol, CLEANCOOK, and Stockholm Environment Institute presented an overview of ethanol as a practical cooking fuel and discussed details on the main challenges and lessons learned, including micro and macro scale ethanol production, and policy and socio economic barriers.
