About this project

This Micro-Scale Voluntary Project Activity in the West-Cameroon Region involves the distribution of domestic fuel-efficient cook stoves to households within Bamboutos, Haut-Nkam, Hauts-Plateaux, Koung-Khi, Ménoua, Mifi, Ndé and Noun Departments. The efficient cook stoves are based on a design developed by the project participant local NGO, African Centre for Renewable Energy & Sustainable Technology (ACREST) and has been independently tested at the University of Nairobi. Stoves will be sold at a highly subsidized price, in exchange for the rights to the Voluntary Emission Reductions (VERs).
