Live from the Clinton Global Initiative
Posted by John Schueler on September 21, 2010 at 1:00 PM
Today Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton formally announced the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, a new public-private initiative to create a thriving global market for clean and efficient household cooking solutions that will save lives, improve livelihoods and combat climate change. Secretary Clinton outlined partnership and financial commitments of the Alliance as part of the Clinton Global Initiative’s annual meeting.
Secretary Chu praised the agreement, saying that “as part of the cookstoves alliance, the Department of Energy is lending our scientific and technical resources to develop practical solutions that are clean, safe and affordable. Pursuing concrete steps towards more efficient stoves makes good financial sense, good public health sense and good environmental sense.”
The Department of Energy will contribute $10 million over the next five years and conduct research aimed at addressing technical barriers to the development of low emission, high efficiency cookstoves through activities in areas such as combustion, heat transfer, and materials development. The Department will also work to raise additional funding support for the Alliance through engagement with countries participating in the second Clean Energy Ministerial meeting scheduled for April 2011.
