TASC Clean Cooking PoA
Gold Standard · GS11009 · Zimbabwe
About this project
The goal of the proposed Programme of Activities (PoA) is to distribute improved cookstoves (“ICS”) in the households/small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in Zambia and Zimbabwe. The project ICS combust biomass fuels more efficiently, reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) and particulate matter (PM) emissions, improving indoor air quality in project households/SMEs. Due to the higher thermal efficiency of the ICS relative to the traditional/baseline stoves, the ICS reduce the amount of non-renewable biomass fuel required for meeting similar thermal energy needs. In the absence of the proposed PoA, inefficient traditional / 3-stone fires /charcoal pots would have been used for cooking. Thus, replacement of the baseline inefficient stoves with project ICS shall reduce non-renewable biomass fuel consumption and hence equivalent amount of GHG emissions.
