Renewable biomass fired improved cookstoves programme for households in Burundi by BQS
Gold Standard · GS3026 · Burundi
About this project
The CDM Program of Activities (PoA) aims at switching from non-renewably logged trees for production of wood fuel for cooking to a sustainable energy supply by using renewable biomass in Burundi. The switch is further enabled by replacing currently used traditional open fire (3-stone) system and traditional stoves with affordable and efficient improved cook stoves (ICS), enhancing the sustainable supply of dedicated renewable biomass for Burundian households across the country.Households will be provided with renewable biomass that may be composed of biomass extracted from forests managed sustainably and/or briquettes made of renewable biomass waste
