West Guji Improved Cook Stove Distribution project
Gold Standard · GS11187 · Ethiopia
About this project
West Guji improved cook stove distribution project is a small scale project that will disseminate locally produced improved stoves to target communities. The technologies shall reduce the non-renewable biomass consumption required to provide thermal energy for domestic cooking requirements. Two type of improved cook stoves, one for cooking and the other for baking will be disseminated in each project household to complete shift of traditional cooking. The Tikikil stove (for Cooking) is a rocket stove that has been adopted to suit the cooking requirements of most Ethiopian households and designed for local production techniques; and hence named “Tikikil” meaning “Appropriate”. The second stove is named Mirt and is used for baking purpose. Together, both technologies will displace traditional cooking stoves for all household cooking needs. The key partners of the project are Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (Project proponent), Horn of Africa Regional Environment Centre and Network (project participant and Oromia Water, Irrigation and Energy Bureau.
