Impact Description
Their increased thermal efficiency means that the new FCSs require less fuelwood to cook, reducing emissions by as much as 10 tCO2 per stove annually. Not only does this help mitigate climate change, ease pressure on forests and protect giant panda habitat it also improves community health, as the FCSs dramatically reduce the amount of harmful indoor smoke created by cooking.
Solution Description
Over two years, this project replaces 400 conventional open fire stoves (such as three stone fires and mud stoves) with firewood-saving cook stoves (FSCs) for communities in the Mamize Nature Reserve area. The new stoves are 75-80 cm high, and feature two 80cm-diameter pots; one for cooking, and another for animal forage. Unlike conventional cookstoves, which are inefficient and produce indoor smoke, the FCSs have an additional air flow system. This chimney and grate system combusts firewood more completely, filtering smoke out of the house via a 3-4 m chimney.
