About this project
The PoA GS 973 – RDIS CPA 1 GS 4823 is one of a number of small-scale CPAs that are included under the ICSEA PoA GS 973. The project is CDM and Gold Standard accredited. The CPA is part of CDM Sectoral Scope 3: Energy demand, AMS-II.G version 3, “Energy Efficiency Measures in Thermal Applications of Non Renewable Biomass", as well as Sectoral Scope 1: Fuel switch, AMS-I.E version 6, “Switch from Non-Renewable Biomass for Thermal Applications by the User".RDIS CPA 1 GS 4823 is active in the marketing, distribution, tracking and maintenance of portable/fixed, domestic/institutional improved cook stoves (ICS), using charcoal/firewood/renewable biomass fuels.This CPA is disseminating ICS throughout Rwanda. The primary means to uniquely identify the activities under the CPA is by means of buyer information collected through Sales Agreements. This includes stove serial number, customer name, address, date of sale, and where practical and appropriate also GPS coordinates.The overall objective of RDIS CPA 1 is to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the dissemination of ICS as a local, sustainable energy source and the development of a commercially viable, market-oriented ICS sector.
