African Cookstove Project

This is a Verified Project that generates verified carbon offset certificates, each has a unique serial number and is equivalent to one tonne of CO2e removed from the atmosphere.

SITUATION

Biomass, especially firewood and charcoal, is widely used in many developing countries as a fuel for cooking, particularly in rural areas.

It is generally carried out on thermally inefficient traditional devices that produce large amounts of CO2 and indoor pollution which can cause respiratory health hazards

SOLUTION

The project provides fuel-efficient cookstoves which reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions going into the atmosphere for cooking the same amount of food. Households save money by having less fuel requirements and health is improved through the reduction of indoor air pollutants

IMPACT

The project provides fuel savings for many poor households and reduces consumption of non-renewable wood. It  can lead to a significant reduction in the annual usage of biomass and a decrease in the rate of deforestation, which has a positive impact on biodiversity.

OUTCOME

 

  • Projects like these have distributed thousands of efficient cookstoves to replace open fires.
  • They reflect traditional woodfire methods, but require approximately sixty-six percent less firewood.
  • They considerably reduce smoke emissions and improve community health in developing countries.
– Certificates can be verified on the Gold Standard registry, where the full project specifications are also recorded.
– Carbon offsets are measurable, verifiable emission reductions from projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere and can take place anywhere in the world.
– Offset certificates finance verified projects that reduce and eliminate carbon which are subject to a rigorous registration and verification process.
– Projects can include wind, solar, hydro, biomass energy recovery, geothermal and GHG abatement. They aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions whilst supporting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
– We supply offsets through The Carbon Trade Exchange which guarantees transactions and provides rigorous measures to protect our customers.
– After purchase, you will receive a certificate showing the amount of tonnes you have bought, along with their serial numbers.  Offsets are supplied through our partners at the Climate Change Institute  where they are subjected to a rigorous verification process. Purchases subject to our Terms & Conditions  
The Gold Standard Registry issues carbon offsets and is the central repository for all information and documentation relating to Gold Standard projects and units.
The Registry also ensures the uniqueness of projects and credits in the system. Projects are subject to a rigorous verification process where transparency underpins the positive outcomes of the carbon projects.
