About this project

This VPA deploys highly efficient improved firewood cookstoves (ICS), known as ‘Kuniokoas’ reducing woody biomass consumption for rural households in the Republic of Nigeria. The VPA is implemented by BURN Manufacturing Co. (in the following ‘BURN’), at the same time Coordinating and Managing Entity (CME) of the PoA, the biggest manufacturer of highly efficient improved cookstoves in Sub-Saharan Africa producing all its stoves in the first and only modern cookstove manufacturing facility in Nigeria. The scenario existing prior to the implementation of the project is the use of very inefficient traditional cookstoves or 3-stone fires, consuming a lot of non-renewable firewood. The high biomass consumption has negative impacts on the environment leading to deforestation and land degradation, Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) emissions, loss of soil fertility and soils’ reduced ability of water retention. Further, indoor air pollution through health-damaging pollutants while combusting firewood and charcoal result in diseases like e.g. pneumonia, stroke, ischaemic heart diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and lung cancer.
