BioLite Improved Cook stoves Programme
Gold Standard · GS11191 · Kenya
About this project
The Programme of Activities “BioLite Improved Cookstoves Programme” involves the substitution of traditional and inefficient biomass cookstoves with efficient biomass cookstoves (wood, charcoal) in domestic households and communities in Kenya. This will result in a reduction in usage of fuel (biomass) for cooking purposes which contributes to environmental sustainability and community development. Prior to the implementation of project activity, the target beneficiary would have used biomass in traditional cookstove /three-stone fires without an improved combustion system. The program is a voluntary initiative coordinated by BioLite Mauritius (BioLite) as the coordinating/managing entity (CME). The PoA is a registered CDM PoA with Ref no: 7997.
