About this project

The proposed Gold Standard project aims at the introduction, manufacture, promotion and sale of fuel-efficient charcoal cookstoves, herein referred to as Boja cookstoves. The Boja stoves will replace low-efficiency three- stone cookers and other traditional stoves popularly used in Ghana. The advanced design of the improved cookstoves allows quicker heating-up, less fuel use, high heat retention and lower quantities of combustion fumes. The use of the Boja stoves will result in the following benefits:  Significant savings of charcoal and wood fuel costs  Reduced indoor air pollution (IAP)  Greenhouse gas emission reduction. The project will be coordinated and implemented by CookClean Ghana Limited and will target the whole country of Ghana, starting with densely populated urban areas where charcoal consumption is high. The project will then expand to the wider peri-urban and rural areas where the utilization of wood fuel is high. The project will disseminate, but not limited to, the BOJA improved stove which has been designed and manufactured by CookClean Ghana Limited. The boundary covered by the large-scale project is the geographical boundary of Ghana. The Boja stoves will displace baseline inefficient cooking devices that consume more non-renewable biomass. From the applied methodology (Technologies and Practices to Displace Decentralized Thermal Energy Consumption, Version 4.0), the baseline scenario is the consumption of non-renewable biomass using inefficient devices for thermal energy needs as those provided by the project devices.
