Our Mission
The Dutch Spark wants to contribute to the accessibility of clean and efficient cooking solutions (with a preference for non-fossil fuels) for all, by acquiring and sharing knowledge, creating support, and demonstrating successful concepts in practice (proof-of-concept).
Our Vision
The vision of the Dutch Spark is that by 2030 everyone has access to affordable clean cooking solutions, with the cleanest and most efficient technologies possible.
Because the cleanest and most efficient solutions are not accessible for everyone in the short term, the Dutch Spark focuses on the most clean and affordable solutions possible for the poorest and vulnerable groups as a first step towards clean options. This means that we aim to make the affordable solutions cleaner and the clean solutions affordable.
