Renew Sakhi Improved Cookstove - 2

About this project

The proposed project activity involves distribution of improved cook stoves to the target households in Bihar, India. The ICS units will be distributed to the households in the various district of Bihar. The proposed project activity will be jointly funded by ReNew & Kosher Climate India Private Limited, and the local implementation partner.

The purpose of the project activity is to decrease fuel wood consumption by replacing inefficient traditional cook stoves in 42,000 households with efficient fuel wood single pan Earthfit-Arjun cook stoves in Bihar, India. Based on average thermal efficiency improvement of Earthfit-Arjun cook stove, each household saves about 2 t/year. In the baseline, the fuelwood consumption is 2.8 t/household/yr. By reducing fuel wood consumption, the project activity reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions stemming from the use of non-renewable biomass. The ICS cook stoves expected to save about 3.33 t of CO2/yr/family in this region, alongside providing smoke free environment at home and reducing drudgery for collection of fuelwoods. Each stove unit will be given a unique identification number so that they can be easily identified during the monitoring surveys and to avoid double counting of the total installed units.
