About this project

The purpose of this PoA is to disseminate low-GHG water purification technologies in Ghana, thereby reducing the need to boil water, which is generally done on unimproved stoves that use firewood and/or charcoal. With only 30% of the population having access to clean cooking fuels and technologies in Ghana, the project addresses a critical challenge in sustainable water treatment and fuel consumption. The reduction in fossil fuel combustion will lead to a reduction in carbon emissions. The PoA is planned to have a geographical scope expansion in the future.
