About this project

The project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, curb deforestation and improve air quality by manufacturing or importing charcoal and wood fuel efficient biomass stoves and disseminating them to households and other users throughout Tanzania. In the future the project will also disseminate water filtration systems to avoid greenhouse gases released from boiling water. Carbon revenues will be used to subsidize and market efficient stoves and water filtration systems so that the technologies will quickly spread throughout Tanzania.
