About this project

The purpose of the CPA is to achieve widespread distribution and effective use of efficient cooking technologies in low-income rural households. The CPA Implementer is Korea Carbon Management Ltd. (KCM), a company registered in the Republic of Korea . KCM provides all implementation and ongoing project operation costs for the project under this CPA. The target group of the CPA are rural households using non-renewable biomass (firewood) with a three stone fire, or a conventional system with no improved combustion air supply or flue gas ventilation system, i.e. without a grate or a chimney, prior to receipt of an efficient cooking stove. The CPA will cover the Republic of Kenya, which is within the physical/geographical boundary of the PoA. The CPA deploys an efficient cooking stove known as Kuniokoa. The technology was designed and developed by BURN. The technology has a thermal efficiency of 41.90% and is intended for use with fuel wood. The Kuniokoa stove’s design takes into account the local cooking culture in the project area to ensure that improvements in technology and improved standards of living do not come at the expense of cultural traditions.
