About this project

The aim of this PoA, developed by Carbonsink, is to distribute energy efficient cookstoves and safe water supply and treatment technologies at a subsided rate to households, SMEs, institutions and/or communities cooking with non-renewable biomass or fossil fuels and/or lacking access to safe water. These technologies will reduce GHG emissions by allowing households/SMEs/institutions/communities to cook the same amount of food using less non-renewable biomass, and by removing the need to boil water as a form of purification before consumption. The implementation area of the PoA covers the countries of Ethiopia, Burundi, Mozambique, Madagascar, Senegal and Uganda. Later on, other developing countries may also be added under the programme area.
