S 2179 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Clean Cooking Support Act

The Clean Cooking Support Act establishes a federal working group led by the State Department and USAID to coordinate U.S. government efforts supporting clean cookstoves and fuels globally. It directs specific agencies - like Energy (for research), NIH (for health studies), CDC (for program evaluation), and EPA (for testing standards) - to collaborate with the Clean Cooking Alliance on research, program development, and reducing emissions from traditional cooking methods. The bill requires annual reports to Congress detailing progress, funding, and outcomes of U.S.-funded clean cooking programs. It directly affects global households, particularly in developing countries, that rely on solid fuels for cooking, aiming to improve health, reduce pollution, and support climate goals through coordinated U.S. initiatives.
