GS10789 GS11673 RVPA-64: Efficient and Clean Cooking for households in Nigeria
Gold Standard · GS12283 · Nigeria
About this project
his VPA deploys highly efficient improved cookstoves (ICS), known as ‘Jikokoas’ reducing woody biomass consumption for urban and peri-urban households in the Federal 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 Kenya. BURN may collaborate with various local partners on the ground to assist in the different activities of this cookstove project. 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 charcoal and 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, ischemic heart diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and lung cancer.
