Gold Standard · GS12883 · Ethiopia
About this project
Yirgachefe Multipurpose Cook Stove Distribution Project is a small scale project activity that disseminates fuel saving stoves for coffee farmers in Yirgachefe, Dila zuria and Wonago Districts, Ethiopia. Rural community in the project area are using open fire for cooking. Open fire has low efficiency (less than 10%) and consumes more fuel wood and has multiple social, economic and environmental negative impacts. The project aimed to replace the baseline technologies by multipurpose cook stoves and reduce the amount of fuel consumed by more than half. Multipurpose cook stove has thermal efficiency of 32% and 54% fuel wood saving potential. The stove will reduce GHG emissions, deforestation,and improve the local climatic condition. it also improve indoor air pollution and the health condition of the farmers .
