Data-verified Smart Induction Stove Project in Rwanda
Gold Standard · GS23730 · Rwanda
About this project
The Data-Verified Smart Induction Stove Project in Rwanda is a large-scale clean cooking project that promotes the adoption of modern electric cooking technologies by replacing traditional charcoal and firewood stoves with IoT-enabled smart induction stoves. The project will distribute up to 100,000 induction stoves to grid-connected households across urban and peri-urban areas of Rwanda, enabling a transition to cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable cooking practices. The project applies the Gold Standard Metered & Measured Energy Cooking Devices Methodology V2.0 and utilizes ATEC's proprietary digital Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (dMRV) platform to continuously record electricity consumption and stove usage. This real-time monitoring ensures accurate, transparent, and fully auditable quantification of greenhouse gas emission reductions. By displacing the use of non-renewable biomass fuels, the project reduces greenhouse gas emissions, lowers household cooking costs and improves indoor air quality. It also creates local employment opportunities and supports sustained adoption of clean cooking through user engagement and performance-based incentives. The project contributes to Rwanda's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and several Sustainable Development Goals, including Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7), Climate Action (SDG 13), Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3), Gender Equality (SDG 5), Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8), and No Poverty (SDG 1).
