Stichting Modern Cooking (SMC) is a Dutch non-profit private foundation that holds an interest in Spark+ GP and participates in its governance, as well as that of its associated entities. SMC is focused on supporting initiatives that build the market for clean and modern cooking solutions in developing countries, with a focus on Africa.- 900 million people in sub-Saharan Africa lack clean and modern cooking energy. - Without the electric stoves and piped natural gas prevalent in developed countries, they are forced to spend an estimated $35 billion annually on unhealthy and polluting open fires, charcoal, and kerosene.- According to a World Bank report released in 2020, this generates annual social, environmental, and economic costs of more than $330 billion in Africa, while the investment required by the private sector to deliver access to modern alternatives would be only $2.6 billion per year.-Solutions that rely on liquified petroleum gas (LPG), ethanol, electricity, biogas, processed biomass fuels such as pellets, as well as improved efficiency biomass cookstoves are being commercialized through next-generation, technology-integrated business models and are enabling underserved consumers to adopt modern energy solutions.Clean and modern cooking energy directly impacts 11 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) where we focus our work.
