The Problem and
The Opportunity
Charcoal is expensive. Smoke is deadly. Forests are disappearing.
In Kampala and the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area, most homes still cook on charcoal. Families pay more every month for fuel, breathe toxic smoke every day, and forests are cut down to meet demand. Uganda loses tens of thousands of hectares of forest cover each year, and women and children pay the highest price in poor health and lost time.
Ethanol cooking changes the story.
Ethanol is a clean-burning, renewable fuel. When used in a modern stove, it produces a steady blue flame with no smoke and no soot. With the right stove, fair fuel prices, and reliable distribution, families can save money, cook faster, and protect their health—while Uganda protects its forests and meets its climate goals.
