About this project

The project involves distribution of bio-ethanol fuel cookstoves and promote its use for cooking purposes in households in Kenya. KOKO will enable distribution of high efficiency ethanol cookstoves and last-mile delivery of bio-ethanol fuel to the target customers through a network of fuel-ATMs (KOKOpoints) installed in local shop. In the absence of the project activity, the use of unimproved cookstoves consuming high quantity of non-renewable woody biomass (charcoal & fuelwood) would have continued for cooking purpose which is also the existing pre-project scenario. The implementation of the CPA will substantially reduce the consumption of non-renewable woody biomass in the households.
