About this project

The micro-scale VPA “NativeEnergy Clean Water Programme East Africa: VPA (02) Ethiopia” aims to reduce wood fuel consumption used for domestic/non-residential water treatment by introducing zero energy Clean water technology to replace the use of boiling. The CME to the project activity is NativeEnergy, an American social enterprise that manufactures and distributes the Clean water in an effort to provide households in the developing world with convenient and affordable access to safe drinking water. This micro-scale VPA shall apply the Gold Standard methodology “Technologies and Practices to Displace Decentralized Thermal Energy Consumption”, and therefore shall incorporate any project technologies or activities that displace thermal energy consumption in existing baseline practices. The PoA seeks to abate GHG emissions associated with the consumption of biomass for wood fuel traditionally used to boil drinking water.
