2. Why the use of ethanol for
Cooking?
The rationale:
 The costs of fossil fuels are rising and so are the
budgets of most African Countries who spend an
average of 55-60% of national budget on importation
and subsidization of liquid petroleum fuels for their
domestic economies.
 African countries cannot cope with this rising cost.
Most African economies may experience stagnation
& worsen the poverty trap except alternative bio fuels
are produced to substitute the unsustainable
imports of petroleum.
 This project when successfully implemented will put
the tools in the hands of African investors &
Governments for establishing efficient low cost fuel
ethanol projects targeting the replacement of
paraffin and gasoline.

3. Long lines await delivery of kerosene in a
fuel station.
Replacing kerosene with ethanol is
financially more rewarding than replacing
gasoline, since Nigeria pays more for
kerosene.
The retail fuel market in Nigeria has been
plagued by high prices, scarcities, and
quality problems. Purchasing fuels from
abroad creates a FOREX problem.

Our tests show that alcohol fuels used in the CleanCook stove are
the cleanest and safest alternative for the 80%+ of homes in the
developing world that do not have adequate or reliable access to
electricity.
PM10 are small soot

or less. PM10
indicates that even
smaller, more

are present.

Extremely high particulate matter and CO. kills
360,000 women and children every year in Sub

11. This region of Africa also suffers from high
levels of indoor air pollution.

12. WHY USE ETHANOL FOR COOKING?
 Blackened pots, walls and ceiling
 Health: eye irritation, coughing
 Long distances for gathering 6-8
hours or more
 Rape, beatings, intimidation, threat
of murder, theft
 Falls and injuries, dehydration,
injuries to back, legs and kidneys
 Lack of wood
 Lack of time for education, income
generation, or access to services

13. What is the potential for ethanol to be an
economical household fuel?
 The household market is different from the vehicle fuel market
and needs to be treated somewhat differently.
 The vehicle fuel market is inherently inflationary for alcohol
fuels, because they are much cheaper to manufacture than
petroleum fuels yet can be sold at or near the price of
petroleum fuels when used as an additive or substitute.
 The alcohol fuels do not need to be subsidized for the
household fuel market, but they do need to be “sheltered” from
the vehicle fuel market by supportive government policy. It
should be reiterated that because alcohols are cheap to
manufacture, no subsidies are needed.

14.  Ethanol as fuel for stoves,
generators cars, buses
and lamps will be
available everywhere (as
telephone handsets now
are, yet much cheaper…
Imagine a soon coming Africa
where…

GASOHOL: A cleaner

Gasoline:

15. The Cassakero VISION
“To provide Nigeria with a locally made agro-based
bio-fuel for household use that will be available,
affordable and accessible, creating sustainable
new jobs and reducing poverty while enhancing
food and energy security in the nation. “

16. PROJECT MISSION
“To establish a dedicated national bio-ethanol
output of 4 million liters per day produced from
integrated small scale-bio ethanol refineries to
provide the household fuel requirement of 4
million families in four years (2010-2014).”

20. The Cassakero Cooking fuelCassakero is safe and easy to handle and user friendly. it
is less volatile and as a bio-fuel, it is easily absorbed into
the environment with no known health hazard. The
ethanol will be denatured with Bitrex, a bitter substance
to render it undrinkable, and a colorant to give it a
distinguishing color.

21. In 2002, kerosene, which was
subsidized, cost 32¢ per liter.
Kerosene is priced in the “official”
market today at about 80¢ and in
the black market at well over $1.00
per liter. It is often adulterated
with gasoline since gasoline is now
cheaper.

22. Mrs. Ejime Nwanze of Umunze Quaters in Ogwashi-Uku, Delta State. To her
right is a cylindrical Chinese kerosene stove, which she purchased at the price
of N3,800 (US$ 32.00) in June 2006. Note the thick layer of soot all around the
kettle placed on the kerosene stove. She said the kerosene stove started
developing fault just 7 months after its first use. She said she abandoned the
kerosene stove for the CleanCook stove when she received it for the pilot study.

23. Surprised by how quickly the
CleanCook stove warmed her kettle of
water, Mrs. Agnes Gilala of Warri study
location exclaims with regard to the
speed it took the water to boil.
