PoA for the Reduction of Emission from Non-Renewable Fuel from Cooking at Household Level

The purpose of the POA is to reduce the demand for wood and charcoal and to contribute towards sustainable development. The PoA is a voluntary action with a goal of providing solutions that will reduce GHG emissions, and other negative effects associated with the use of non-renewable fuel from cooking at household levels. The use of non-renewable fuel such as wood and charcoal for cooking, leads to the emission of greenhouses gases, deforestation, and poor indoor climate. The programme will use several different technologies to reach this goal. The solutions are based on two concepts that fall under the same CDM methodology: 1. Reduce the need for boiling water for drinking and thus reduce the need for non-renewable fuel for boiling water. This is achieved by providing clean and safe drinking water to participating households. The purified water is provided either through a. Water purification system provided at the household level or b. Community-based water purification system where the households will get the purified water at water stations. 2. Provide clean renewable fuel for cooking and thus eliminate the need for non-renewable fuel consumption for cooking. This is done by providing highly efficient stoves that are using renewable fuel. The renewable fuel can either be: c. Denatured alcohol or d. Biogas. However, for this project, the specific focus is on the provision of clean renewable fuel for cooking and this will entail the distribution of denatured alcohol (ethanol) stoves in Kenya. The project has been registered with the UNFCCC, the reference number 7359. The POA covers 19 African countries but for this Sub-POA, the host country is Kenya. The Sub-POA is comprised of 3 CPAs (CPAs 0027,0034 and 0047). The start date for the entire POA is 30/11/2012, while the start date for the CPAs are as follows, CPA 7359-0027: 01/07/2013; CPA 7359-0034: 01/07/2013 and CPA 7359-0047: 01/05/2014. The crediting start date for the CPAs is 28-05-2014.
