Clean Cooking with Biomass Gasification in Malawi (VPA2)
Gold Standard · GS12189 · Malawi
About this project
Under this VPA, traditional cookstoves in Malawi will be replaced with SupaMoto’s clean cooking system based on gasifier cookstoves and biomass pellets, allowing for very clean and comfortable cooking. Also other, similar technologies may be distributed. There is a focus on replacing charcoal which is responsible for severe deforestation in Malawi. The VPA aims at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing better living conditions, especially improving the health of women and children by reducing indoor air pollution.
