About this Project
The Problem

In Uganda, the prohibitive cost of alternative cooking fuels means most families rely on charcoal. The harvesting of wood for charcoal is a major contributor to the country's deforestation problem, which negatively impacts farmers' livelihoods. Inefficient cookstoves, or open fires mean that more cooking fuel is burned than necessary.

The Solution

By burning biomass based fuel (in this case, charcoal) more efficiently than the traditional open fire, efficient stoves lower the amount of cooking fuel each household needs. In turn, this reduces household emissions. Lower household emissions means less GHGs, which contribute to global warming, are released into the atmosphere.
