Iganga Improved Cook Stoves

This project will involve the distribution of approximately 1500 energy efficient improved cook stoves in Ugandan [Iganga] communities. These will be rural districts in Uganda where the lifestyles of the locals impact negatively on the environment and there is deforestation often due to firewood collection by forest adjacent communities who are forest dependant. This way the project will target communities most likely to benefit. co2balance will be distributing our energy efficient stoves into the Ugandan households that in the absence of this project would cook primarily using traditional inefficient stoves. It is estimated that each efficient wood stove distributed in this project would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 3 tonnes CO2e per year over an initial 7 year lifespan. It is anticipated that after this time stoves can be refurbished to provide a further 7 years of useful life.
