The conversation deepens as we grapple with energy, land use, and livelihoods. #charcoal #EnergyTransition #EnergySecurity

Across panels and group discussions, several cross-cutting reflections emerged: New technologies and market innovations mean we must rethink outdated assumptions. Definitions matter: What do we mean by clean, modern, or sustainable charcoal?

When evidence is neutral, how is policy framed? That's the question driving our conversations today on sustainable charcoal transitions. #charcoal #EnergyTransition #EnergySecurity

Insights from our keynote speaker, Peter Thobora from the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, Kenya #charcoal #EnergyTransition #EnergySecurity

Did you know? As much as 68.7% of Kenyan households could potentially adopt eCooking, an opportunity for clean energy transitions. Today, we're kicking off a critical conversation: co-creating a policy action agenda for sustainable charcoal transitions. Stay tuned for outcomes.

Key points included the need for a common language and understanding among stakeholders, the importance of aligning innovation with local needs, and the role of grants and subsidies in supporting agtech startups.

The pathway to scale is clear: structure + collaboration. @KENIAupdates #Agritech #Africa #Startups #EcosystemMapping
