In this course, you will learn about geospatial clean cooking modelling and how to build your own clean cooking transition scenarios using spatial data. You will be introduced to OnStove—an open-source spatial clean cooking tool that identifies the best cooking solutions across any given area based on their costs and benefits. You will learn how to create your own spatial repository, modify spatial datasets, calculate the net benefits of different cooking solutions, and visualize and present your results.
OnStove has been part of the Energy Modelling Platform – Global (EMP-G) series since 2023, where it is taught as a spatial clean cooking modelling component. Through EMPs, analysts and policymakers from around the world gain hands-on experience developing clean cooking transition scenarios and sharing results through Zenodo and conference presentations.
Held from 12–23 August at ICTP. Participants from Kenya, Madagascar, Ghana, and Guatemala developed spatial clean cooking transition scenarios under different conditions using the OnStove tool. Their work was shared as PowerPoint presentations and uploaded to Zenodo.
Held from 26 June – 13 July 2023 at ICTP. Participants from Kenya, Malawi, Ghana, and Rwanda developed spatial clean cooking transition scenarios using the OnStove tool. Their work was presented and archived on Zenodo.
In November, the Nepal Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC), the Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA), and the World Resources Institute (WRI) held a three-day convening focused on the recently launched Energy Access Explorer (EAE) Nepal tool. This platform integrates OnStove’s cost–benefit analysis for clean cooking, allowing stakeholders to generate customized analysis and identify priority areas for clean cooking interventions.
