About this project

The programme will replace traditional stoves with high efficiency biomass fired cook stoves (hereafter referred to as “Improved Cookstoves" or “ICS ") in Rwanda. Rwanda is amongst the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) in the world. The purpose of the PoA is to use carbon finance for the dissemination of ICS to the people of Rwanda, replacing less efficient charcoal or wood cook stoves currently in use, thereby reducing the use of non-renewable biomass. The PoA will reduce CO2 emissions due to more efficient biomass consumption in Improved Cookstoves and by directly using wood for cooking and thus avoiding the inefficient conversion of wood into charcoal. The PoA will be implemented by atmosfair gGmbH who is the cooperating/managing entity for the PoA. The ENEDOM Domestique s.a.r.l or other Implementing Entities will be responsible for the on the ground distribution of stoves.
