About this project
The project disseminates highly efficient fuel wood stoves to households in Nigeria, saving up to 80% of energy. Users are households who previously used inefficient biomass stoves or fossil fuel stoves. Besides saving greenhouse gases, further goals are the reduction of deforestation through reduced fuelwood consumption, and the reduction of Indoor Pollution through avoidance of the emission of health-damaging products of incomplete combustion (PICs) due to nearly complete combustion in the stove.
