THE PROJECT
THE PROJECT
Global efforts to address environmental challenges include reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Homes in the Global South often rely on fossil fuel-based appliances, which are a significant source of GHGs, negatively impact indoor air quality, and are associated with an increase in respiratory diseases.
"RESIDENTIAL ENERGY TRANSFORMATION: Electrification of Stoves and Cooktops in Latin America" is a project aimed at reducing pollutant emissions and improving people’s health and well-being through a strategy that integrates scientific research, public policy, effective communication, and stakeholder collaboration.

IMPLEMENTATION SITES
The "Residential Energy Transition" project is being implemented in Colombia, Chile, and Brazil with the aim of supporting the shift from gas appliances in residential homes to more sustainable electric alternatives. Through innovative policies and incentive programs, we seek to reduce pollutant emissions and promote a healthier, greener future for communities across Latin America.
OBJECTIVE
The "Residential Energy Transformation: Electrification of Stoves and Cooktops in Latin America" project aims to promote the adoption of programs in Latin America that facilitate residential energy transition. It seeks to reduce pollutant emissions and improve people's health and well-being.
The project’s strategy integrates scientific research, regulatory advocacy, effective communication, and stakeholder collaboration, structured around three thematic pillars: Diagnosis, Measurements, and Public Policy.
PROPOSED ACTIONS
Inform policymakers and private sector representatives about the current state of residential energy transition, and the health, climate, and economic impacts of various residential energy options, with a focus on cooking energy sources.
Provide data through technical reports, academic papers, participation in seminars, and edu-communication materials.
Offer policy recommendations to governments as input for enacting new instruments.
KNOWLEDGE PROMOTION
The "Residential Energy Transformation" project aligns with global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Latin America. This project promotes knowledge and encourages the electrification of stoves and cooktops, thereby reducing the use of fossil fuel-based appliances. By integrating scientific research, public policy, and effective collaboration, the project aims to improve indoor air quality and enhance people’s well-being, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable environment.
