GS11993 VPA1: African Clean Energy for Cooking in Uganda
Gold Standard · GS11994 · Uganda
About this project
Under this Gold Standard VPA in Uganda, ACE replaces traditional cookstoves with advanced cooking systems. The ACE One is a clean stove based on biomass gasification that can be used with multiple fuels. End users are offered sustainable fuels such as biomass briquettes or pellets, but also agricultural waste, small sticks or traditional fuels will work. Besides reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preventing deforestation caused by charcoal production, the PoA will allow for comfortable and speedy cooking and improve the health of women and children by reducing indoor air pollution.
