Project Overview

This initiative aims to distribute advanced micro-gasifier stoves and improved cookstoves at subsidized prices to households across targeted regions. Traditionally, families in these areas rely on inefficient three-stone stoves that consume large amounts of fuelwood and produce hazardous indoor air pollution (IAP). The new cookstoves are designed to be highly efficient and environmentally friendly.

 

Benefits of Micro-Gasifier Stoves

Where charcoal-generating micro-gasifier stoves are implemented, we aim to reduce the consumption of conventional charcoal among traditional users. These users will be provided with charcoal produced from our micro wood gasifier stoves, thereby achieving multiple objectives:

 

• Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions: By reducing the reliance on traditional fuelwood and charcoal, the project significantly cuts down greenhouse gas emissions.

• Conservation of Forests: The lowered demand for fuelwood and traditional charcoal contributes to the preservation of forests and woodlands.

• Improved Health Conditions: Replacing traditional stoves with our efficient stoves will drastically reduce indoor air pollution, particularly benefiting women and children who spend extended periods in the kitchen.

​

By achieving these objectives, this project aligns with 8 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring that our impact is both broad and deeply rooted in global sustainability efforts.

 

Implementation and Training

Before the project's implementation, it's important to note that the existing scenario involves the use of traditional biomass stoves with poor ventilation. This has been a serious health risk, especially for women and children. To address this, each household will be trained on how to operate and maintain their new stoves, enhancing the project's long-term impact.

 

Financial Mechanism

End-users will be informed in advance that the use of these new stoves will generate carbon credits. These credits will be used to subsidize the cost of the micro-gasifiers, helping to recover implementation costs and sustain the project financially.

 

Conclusion

This project aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, notably those targeting environmental conservation and public health. By replacing outdated and inefficient cooking methods with cleaner, more efficient technologies, we're not just making cooking safer and more sustainable — we're improving lives.
