Finovista’s Post

We are delighted to invite you to the 8th session of the #Talkseries – Phase III on “National Efficient Cooking Programme (NECP)”. The session would be conducted in virtual mode and is being organized by the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS programme), through its In-country partner – India, Finovista with the aims to identify, discuss and explore avenues to address the specific challenges in the transition to clean cooking. The National Efficient Cooking Programme (NECP), spearheaded by Energy Efficient Services Limited (EESL India) under the Ministry of Power, is aimed at revolutionizing cooking practices by facilitating the adoption of electric cooking devices in India. By distributing 20 Lakh energy-efficient induction cook stoves nationwide, NECP seeks to address key challenges such as high initial costs and limited access to modern appliances, hindering the transition to electric cooking. The cost advantage of 25-30% under the programme over traditional methods is expected to make electric cooking more accessible and appealing to households, particularly in rural areas. Moreover, NECP aligns with Go-electric campaign, providing further impetus for the adoption of energy efficient and modern energy based clean cooking devices. Through these efforts, NECP will not only transform cooking practices but will also contribute to achieving sustainable goals by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating the environmental impact of traditional cooking methods.

🌐♻️ **Unlocking Bangladesh's E-Waste Potential: A Collaborative Journey** ♻️🌐 Bangladesh, with its relatively lower e-waste generation per capita compared to neighboring countries, has forged an effective e-waste management system through a collaborative network of informal stakeholders. This network, comprising retailers, repairers, collectors, wholesalers, and recyclers, operates seamlessly to repurpose, repair, or recycle nearly 90% of e-waste, showcasing efficient resource utilization and environmental stewardship. Despite these achievements, challenges like inadequate regulations and economic constraints persist. To address these, regulatory interventions and incentives for formalization are essential. By regulating the informal sector and incentivizing formalization, Bangladesh can ensure fair pricing, improve service quality, and drive sustainable practices in e-waste management. Let's embark on this collaborative journey towards a cleaner, greener Bangladesh. A crisp write-up by Sayera Sun-Um Nusaka 👏🏼 #EwasteManagement #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Bangladesh ♻️🇧🇩

🔌 Exciting Update from Solukhumbu, Nepal! ⚡️ We're happy to share the results of our electric cooking research project in the remote, off-grid Micro hydro powered community of the Solukhumbu district. 🏔️ After a year of implementation, we returned to witness the change in cooking behavior. The impact has been transformative, and we're eager to share our findings with you.   🌟 Positive Participant Response: Participants have warmly embraced eCooking, with the proportion of dishes cooked using electricity soaring from 31% to an impressive 43%. This shift signifies not only a change in cooking methods but also a shift towards cleaner, more efficient energy sources.   🌬️ Smokeless Kitchens and Enhanced Convenience: One of the most striking changes reported was the transition to a smokeless kitchen environment. Moreover, participants found themselves able to multitask efficiently, thanks to the ease and convenience of electric stoves like the EPC model. So much so that 27% of participants went ahead and purchased additional appliances independently.   👥 Ripple Effect on Non-Participants: Our pilot project's impact extended beyond participants. A heartening 20% of surveyed individuals who hadn't initially participated purchased eCooking devices. This ripple effect showcases the potential for widespread adoption and the role of community influence.   🌱 Accelerating Adoption for a Sustainable Future: Our study unearthed valuable insights for accelerating eCooking adoption   1️ Hands-On Experience: Live demonstrations that offer firsthand experience with the technology can boost adoption rates. 2 Local Engagement: Providing free trials and demonstrations through local vendors can bridge knowledge gaps and build trust. 3  Subsidy Mechanisms: Our findings suggest that partial subsidies ranging from 30% to 50% on eCooking stoves could significantly incentivize households to embrace this sustainable cooking solution. 4 Comprehensive Services: Offering post-sales support, easy access to repairs & maintenance services can enhance user experience and confidence in the technology.   Together, we can drive a swift transition towards greener, more efficient cooking practices. we're committed to pioneering sustainable solutions that empower communities and protect our planet. 🌎💚   #SustainableLiving #RenewableEnergy #CommunityImpact #CleanCooking #Innovation  MECS programme Richard Sieff Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA)

Sustainability is Key 🌿👨🍳 In the heart of a bustling high-end kitchen, sustainability is an unsung hero - integral, yet often overlooked. As chefs, daily practices rooted in sustainability not only impact our environment but also define our culinary creativity and integrity. 🌱 Sourcing Locally: Embracing the farm-to-table ethos, we pivot towards local producers. By doing this, we not only support the community economy, but also reduce carbon footprint associated with long-haul delivery. 💧 Reducing Waste: From nose-to-tail cooking to inventive uses for "scraps", our commitment to waste reduction is paving the way for a more responsible gastronomy. Utilizing every part of the ingredient reflects both respect for the produce and resourcefulness. 🔥 Energy Efficiency: High-end kitchens are notorious for their energy consumption. Introducing energy-efficient equipment and mindful usage can significantly decrease our carbon emissions, making a tangible difference. These practices stand as a testament to culinary excellence meeting ecological responsibility. By championing such initiatives, we cook not just to delight, but also to preserve. #SustainableChefs #LocalProduce #EcoFriendlyCooking #PRS #PRSjobs
