Installation of High Efficient Cook Stoves in India

by EKI Energy Services Limited

Location: Assam, India

Focus: Cookstoves

Price: Start from $16.00/tCO₂e

Project Story

The Installation of High Efficiency Cook Stoves by EKI Energy Services Limited in Assam, India, aims to cut over 1,480,000 tCO2e over 7 years (2020-2027), with a possible 21-year extension. The project has already reduced over 275,000 tCO2e, saved 144,708 tonnes of woody biomass, and employed 96 local workers with above-poverty-line wages. The stoves, with 32.19% thermal efficiency, reduce fuelwood use, deforestation, and air pollutants, while also easing women's workload and improving health.

Project Benefits

Climate Benefits

Less fuelwood is needed for the improved cookstoves through more efficient thermal combustion

Community Benefits

The distributed ICS to 35,045 households increases access to and reliance on clean cooking technology in the local community.

Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) Impact

Fairatmos Evaluation Criteria

Conservative estimation

We review the carbon credits quantification to make sure it was done using assumptions that were conservative to mitigate over-crediting risks

Additionality

We handpick projects with strong additionality to make sure the carbon emission reduction or removal was made possible only because of the project interventions

Safeguards

We ensure safeguards were put in place to act as buffer against leakage and non-permanence risks

Benefits beyond carbon

We assess and measure project impacts on community, biodiversity, and other climate benefits beyond carbon
