About this project

The project aims to positively impact the livelihoods of its beneficiaries, by disseminating improved cooking devices in Kenya. The project ICSs' will replace traditional / inefficient biomass stoves in the baseline. The prevalent use of traditional / inefficient cooking technologies in Kenya results in significant GHG emissions from use of non-renewable biomass (NRB) sourced unsustainably. Furthermore, traditional solid biomass-based cooking releases significant amounts of smoke and particulate matter (PM), exposing the primary cooks to hazardous levels of indoor air pollution (IAP). The project ICSs are designed to be thermally more efficient than baseline stoves, thereby reducing fuel consumption, cooking time, smoke, and PM emissions. Thus, the project reduces GHG emission while simultaneously creating a cleaner cooking environment for women and reducing IAP exposure to women and children. The project, initially registered as a CDM CPA under the CDM PoA 5341, with reference ID 5341-P1-0008-CP1, is now transitioning to Gold Standard as a small-scale project.
