CONTEXT
Population
ICS SECTOR
Rural Population
Cookstove production in Myanmar is largely fragmented and non-standardized
Population using solid fuels for cooking
The performance of the cookstoves remains unknown and their efficiency is contested Consumers rarely have information on the quality, performance or safety of such equipment
Rural population using solid fuels Access to clean fuels (% of population with access to electricity and gas)
Absence of stove testing facilities, common stove performance protocols and cookstove standards
Number of deaths per year from Household Air Pollution
STOVEPLUS ANSWERS Supporting ICS sector development and working with our partner, EGG, to scale up the production, supply and promotion of improved cookstoves
Reduce CO, CO2 and particulate matter emissions (PM 2.5) into the atmosphere Protect the climate and local environment, and diminish pressure on natural resources 300 000 Burmese households spend about 30% less money buying charcoal and less time
Stimulating domestic demand for ICS
Fostering a policy environment that is supportive of positive climate and
collecting firewood, saving approximately USD 5 million by the end of the project 80 SMEs are trained in producing and distributing standardized ICS and 1 business association is founded 200 jobs are created for newly trained, skilled craftspeople
energy action
IMPACTS 1 quality testing laboratory is established at the Forest Research Institute 1 labeling scheme and set of standards is drafted and piloted A national biomass strategy is developed
