National Clean Cooking Policy.

This Policy expresses the Nigeria government's efforts to
 provide
 efficient
 cooking
 energy
 services, taking into consideration the
expansion
of
the
role
of
gas
in
national
development on the one side, and the country's commitment
to
the
Paris
Agreement
on
climate
change, on the other, as cooking
 energy
is
one
of
the
key
sources
of
emissions
of
greenhouse
gases. The main goal of the Policy is to achieve
universal
access
to
clean
cooking
energy
solutions
for
households
and institutions
by
2030, in order to improve
health,
create
jobs,
build
livelihoods,
protect
 the environment, achieve the sustainable development goals,
and
help
families,
institutions
and
businesses
save
time
and
money
through
the promotion
of clean
cooking
solutions. The Policy specifies the following measures: improving investments in the clean cooking sector; strengthening the liquefied petroleum gas supply
in
the
domestic market; increasing development
of
biogas
to
reach
at
least
3%
of
Nigerian
homes
and
 institutions
by
2030; enhancing a thriving
biofuels
industry
and
increase
the
share
of
biofuels
in
the
overall
 cooking
energy
mix
to
5%
by
2030; increasing
the
share
of
briquettes
in
the
overall
cooking
fuel
mix
to
5%
by
2030; establishing a
fuel
efficient
cookstoves
industry; improving modern energy cooking services; ensuring adequate
gender mainstreaming in the access to clean cooking services.
