GS12151 Ripple Africa high impact cookstoves VPA01 SA1

The goal of the proposed Programme of Activities (PoA) is to disseminate Improved Cookstoves (ICS) to households in Malawi. The project ICS are high efficiency biomass cookstoves that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and particulate matter (PM), thus improving indoor air quality in project households as well as many other benefits. Due to the higher thermal efficiency of the ICS relative to the traditional 3 stone fires (baseline stoves), the ICS reduces the amount of non-renewable biomass fuel required for meeting similar thermal energy needs. In the absence of the proposed (PoA), inefficient traditional 3-stone fires would continue to be used which is the dominant firewood end-use system in Malawi. The project ICS will replace the low efficiency 3-stone fires and emission reductions are achieved through improving household energy efficiency and reducing the consumption of non-renewable biomass.
