Clean Cooking Alliance Launches New Resources to Facilitate Sector Investment
WASHINGTON, D.C., May 23, 2023 — The Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) has launched a new collection of resources to help investors and donors deepen their understanding of, and engagement with, companies working to help accelerate access to clean cooking.
The launch of the new Investor Resources comes at a pivotal time, with sector companies receiving a record US $200 million in investment in 2022. Carbon offset revenues from clean cooking projects continue to drive increased interest from new and existing investors, while the many co-benefits of clean cooking remain attractive to donors.
To help investment-oriented stakeholders explore and better understand the clean cooking industry, CCA partnered with investors and donors to co-create curated content and data to be hosted on the new Investor Resources section of the CCA website.
This new collection of resources includes:
- Country-specific information about the clean cooking sector;
- Information on companies across a range of different fuels and technologies; and
- The latest sector data for carbon, investment, and customer benchmarks.
These new resources will help investors interested in identifying clean cooking companies to investigate further in their own due diligence processes, as well as donors looking to design a call for proposals that includes clean cooking. CCA will manage the site’s content and welcomes engagement from partners to help guide the continued evolution and growth of the Investor Resources.
