| 30 COOKING Because household energy consumption, primarily for cooking, makes up such a large share of regional energy use, expanding access to sustainable solutions in the form of efficient cook stoves and modern fuels will have a large positive impact. As of 2014, energy consumption for cooking is dominated by traditional solid fuels. Across the ECOWAS region, an average 85.7% of each country’s population uses solid fuels for cooking, although national figures range from 98% in Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, and Sierra Leone, to just 31% in Cabo Verde.4 (See Table 4.)
