Kisumu Improved Cook Stoves
Gold Standard · GS843 · Kenya
About this project
This project will distribute approximately 20,000 rocket stoves, based on a permanent construction, for improved fuel efficiency. These stoves will utilise the efficient rocket technology. They will be manufactured, distributed and installed by local people under the training and supervision of co2balance Kenya Ltd. Initial testing has shown these stoves to be more than 50% more efficient than traditional models as well as reducing indoor smoke by approximately 80%. These stoves will use less firewood and emit less smoke. Based on the above, the project will contribute to diverse positive impacts at the local and global scale on the three pillars of sustainable development established by the Millennium Development Goals (UN): environmental, economic and social.
