About this project

The purpose of this Program of activities under Gold Standard and Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is the dissemination of improved (fuelwood and charcoal) cook stoves to rural and urban households of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), thereby replacing inefficient traditional stoves and cooking devices, thus reducing fuel consumption. The PoA reduces greenhouse gas emissions from the use of non-renewable biomass by allowing households to use less wood or charcoal, the accessibility of which has continued to be expensive and scarce in most parts of the country and which is to the greatest part non-renewable. CPA 001 is implemented in South Kivu
