Zambia, like many African countries, is facing a crisis with over 80% of the population relying on polluting fuels like charcoal and firewood for cooking. This practice not only leads to toxic indoor air and environmental degradation but also contributes to poverty and climate change. The use of such fuels results in over 3.2 million premature deaths globally each year. In Zambia, despite around 50% having access to electricity, frequent power cuts and high tariffs make clean cooking unattainable for many. Researchers in Zambia have explored the potential of green hydrogen as an alternative clean cooking fuel. Green hydrogen, produced from water and renewable electricity, offers a low-carbon substitute for traditional fuels. The study found that grid-connected green hydrogen systems are more cost-effective and feasible than standalone renewable energy systems. It also highlighted the importance of making green hydrogen accessible locally to households and industries, emphasizing the need to move away from fossil fuels. Policymakers are urged to prioritize the adoption of green hydrogen to combat health issues associated with traditional fuels and promote sustainable development.
