KOKO Kenya - Ethanol Cookstoves Program
Gold Standard · GS10884 · Kenya
About this project
The purpose of this small-scale Programme of Activities (PoA) is to achieve widespread commercial use of bioethanol as clean cooking fuel by effective use of efficient cooking technologies in low-income households as well as institutions including small-scale industries and commercial set ups like catering services, street food outlets and restaurants. The operation of the PoA will result in reduction of carbon-dioxide emissions to the atmosphere caused by consumption of non-renewable woody biomass and prevention of associated deforestation, thereby contributing towards climate change mitigation. The implementation of PoA will also derive other social and environmental benefits which are discussed later in this section. KOKO Networks Limited (hereinafter referred as “KOKO”) is the Coordinating and Managing entity (CME) for this PoA. As part of the implementation plan, KOKO will enable distribution of high efficiency bioethanol cookstoves and last-mile delivery of bio-ethanol fuel to the target customers by installing state-of-art fuel-ATMs - KOKOpoints at local corner stores in Kenya.
