About this project

The proposed SSC-CPA “Renewable Biomass Fired Improved Cookstoves Programme For Households in Burundi by BQS - CPA_BUJM01", hereafter referred to as “CPA_BUJM01" will be carried out in densely-populated communes of Bujumbura Mairie Province (which contains the country's capital Bujumbura), where households mainly rely on wood fuel for cooking purposes with inefficient devices. Indeed an average of 5.93 tons of woody biomass per household is currently consumed each year for cooking purposes.The promotion and dissemination of 40,909 affordable1 and efficient improved cook stoves (ICS) to low income Burundian households, the sustainable supply of dedicated renewable biomass extracted from sustainably managed forests together with briquettes made of renewable biomass wastes and the associated awareness and training campaigns will help Burundian households by replacing currently usedtraditional open fire (3-stone) system and traditional stoves, thus reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions by 217,458 tCO2/yr. These CO2 emissions reductions will be generated by the substitution of non-renewable wood fuel consumption with renewable biomass enabled by the CPA_BUJM01. Thanks to new ICS with efficiency of 24.8%, about 2.39 tons2 of renewable biomass per households will be consumed.Burundi Quality Stoves S.A., hereafter referred to as BQS, acts as a SSC-CPA implementer for the proposed CPA_BUJM01.
