About this project

More than 50% of the population in Benin still use three-stone stoves for cooking , this stove emits a lot of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, due to their inefficiencies. Households spend a lot of money to buy wood or charcoal, and cooking times are very long. Furthermore, these households develop health problems due to the pollution generated. Bissap project is targeting the distribution of 150,000 energy efficient cooking stoves to households in Benin to replace the traditional three stone cooking method and reduce around 175,000 tCO2e / year on average over 10 years, making a significant contribution to achieving the objectives of the CDN . This high impact project will help in the reduction of indoor air pollution thus improving the health of women and their families, impacting an overall estimation of 630,000 individuals. It will also target the reduction of non-renewable biomass use thus decreasing pressure on forest. Contribution to women empowerment by reducing the cooking time and use of wood, improving the livelihoods and economic resilience of the households.
