Gold Standard · GS11209 · Mozambique
About this project
The large-scale voluntary Project Activity (VPA) “Production and sale of efficient cookstoves in the urban areas of Maputo Province, Mozambique” is developed by Italian company Carbonsink. The project distibutes fuel-efficient charcoal fired cookstoves (locally manufactured Mbaula Poupa+ model) to local families contributing thus in the reduction of daily charcoal consumption. This reduction will have positive impact on GHG emissions reductions in line with UN's Sustainable Develpment Goal number 13. In addition, the project activities are foreseen to contribute sustainable development at local level.
