About this project

Under this Gold Standard VPA in Uganda, ACE replaces traditional cookstoves with advanced energy systems. The ACE One is an ultra-clean stove with an integrated solar PV system that provides basic electricity as well as thermal power. The ACE One's biomass gasification can be used with multiple fuels, meaning it can be introduced in any context, regardless of whether there are existing fuel supply chains. ACE offers sustainable fuels such as biomass briquettes or pellets to its customers, but agricultural waste, small sticks, dung and other traditional fuels will work as well. Besides reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preventing deforestation caused by charcoal production, the PoA will allow for comfortable and speedy cooking and improve the health of women and children by reducing indoor air pollution. Each ACE One system logs its usage on an in-built microprocessor. Therefore, every carbon credit will be based on individual usage data. There is no extrapolation based on usage assumptions.
