About this project

Replace non-renewable fuel with renewable fuel for household cooking that voluntarily want to take part in the CPA project, through the lease or buying of an ethanol stove. The project is implemented in Kenya. The project includes the distribution of ethanol cookstoves. The project replaces the use of non-renewable biomass for cooking and the emission reduction claimed is limited to the GHG emission from the non-renewable woody biomass that is replaced as a result of the project activity. The baseline scenario is that households use woody biomass for cooking. Using woody biomass for cooking contribute to GHG emission. This emission is reduced or eliminated when households adapt the use of the ethanol cookstoves that is distributed as part of this project activity. The project is expected to include 15,000 household to be included in the project. The number of households to be included in the project might however be lower or higher depending on the market adaptation, prices of carbon credits and other external factors. VPA is not a part of any other PoA. No part of the project is part of any other PoA or Project activity in which carbon credits might be generated during the same time as carbon credits might be generated from Gold Standard.
