About this project

The Micro-Scale Voluntary Project Activity 44 BioLite Improved Stove Programme, Uganda (mVPA) involves the distribution of approximately 2,508 domestic fuel-efficient cook stoves to households throughout Uganda. The programme is implemented in conjunction with CO2Balance UK Ltd., who is the CME of the PoA.The efficient cook stoves are developed by BioLite. Building on four years of product development with local cooks in India, Uganda, Ghana and Laos, BioLite has developed the HomeStove. The HomeStove is an ultra-clean burning fan-assisted wood stove that cuts toxic pollutant emissions by 90% for a cleaner planet and a healthier household, and reduces fuel use by 50%. In addition, utilizing BioLite’s patented Direct Conduction Thermoelectric System (DCTS), the HomeStove also generates its own electricity, providing users with enough reliable, on-demand electricity in a day’s cooking to fully charge a mobile phone and provide an evening’s worth of bright, LED light.
