At the 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil, UNIDO will launch its new Guidebook on Ethanol Micro-Distilleries for Clean Cooking.
Date: 10 November 2025
Time: 12:05 – 12:15 (BRT)
Venue: GBA Pavilion, Green Zone, Belém, Brazil
The publication is a practical reference demonstrating how small-scale ethanol production using locally available feedstocks can expand clean energy access, foster local entrepreneurship, promote gender equality, strengthen rural livelihoods, and support low-carbon development.
Drawing on experiences from Brazil, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Southeast Asia, the guidebook showcases how ethanol micro-distilleries can transform agricultural residues into sustainable cooking fuels, supporting progress toward SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
Join UNIDO at the GBA Pavilion, Green Zone during COP30 to explore how locally led ethanol solutions can drive just and inclusive clean cooking transitions.
