CookClean manufactures efficient cookstoves to displace the resources wasteful and unhealthy traditional stoves which kill 13,400 people and subject 21 million to Household Air Pollution yearly in Ghana.This method of cooking has a devastating effect on Ghanaian forests which have been reduced to 25% of its original size. Furthermore, CookClean manufactures sustainable biomass cooking fuels made of agricultural waste and sawdust in its own 2nd production facilities to complement the stove production.CookClean has therefore enhanced the transition of cooking on open fire to using efficient cookstoves and also transitioned from the use of environmentally unsustainable firewood to sustainable biomass fuels. &nbsp;CookClean 6 years achievements:-&nbsp;over 100,000 stoves disseminated- 400,000 people impacted- 720,000 tCO2e certified emission reduction-&nbsp;680,000 tons of trees saved-&nbsp;over US-$29 million fuel savings for families-&nbsp;36 qualified employment created and 200 women in the value chain.Offsetting Your Carbon Footprint!Supporting information on co-benefits of CDM Cookstove Projects available here:Health: <a href="http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/health/">http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/health/</a>Environment: <a href="http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/environment/index.html">http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/environment/index.html</a>Livelihood: <a href="http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/livelihoods/index.html">http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/livelihoods/index.html</a>Gender: <a href="http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/women-gender/index.html">http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/women-gender/index.html</a>For more information on the&nbsp;social benefits&nbsp;of this project,&nbsp;<a href="http://cdmcobenefits.unfccc.int/SDC%20Reports/20150623_SDTOOL01_4744_ver1.pdf">you can read its&nbsp;Sustainable Development Co-benefits&nbsp;report here.</a>Learn more about this <a href="https://cdm.unfccc.int/ProgrammeOfActivities/poa_db/V7A06W39LCRF4X8P1BGIJDUEKTS5QH/view">ClimateCare project</a>.

Clean Cook Stoves in Sub-Saharan Africa by ClimateCare Limited

Wind turbines generate electricity using the power of the wind, reducing the amount of fossil fuels that we need to use to generate our power, and therefore reducing the amount of greenhouse gases that we release to our atmosphere. Project benefits: preserving natural resources; promoting renewable energy; reducing dependency on non-renewable resources; and helping spread green technology worldwide.Wigton Windfarm Limited also supports schools in the area as part of its social responsibility, including the adoption of the adjacent Rose Hill Primary and Infant School and plays an active role in supporting education through the building of a renewable energy resource center in 2010 where training courses are offered in renewable energy. Wigton Windfarm Limited has also embarked on a recent corporate social responsibility programme where scholarships and bursaries are given at tertiary institutions for students pursuing engineering and science in addition to providing laptops to needy students.The Wigton Windfarm Limited also supports community farming. The company undertook rain harvesting water catchment tank repairs on the Wigton complex to assist the community farmers who conduct farming of livestock and cash crops such as sweet potatoes and carrots at a set-back from the wind turbine areas.Learn information about the <a href="https://cdm.unfccc.int/Projects/DB/SGS-UKL1323883065.28/view">Wington Windfarm project</a> here.Read about the <a href="https://offset.climateneutralnow.org/images/uploaded/Capture%20PA%205522.pdf">social benefits of the project</a>.

Domestic biodigesters provide a way for individual households with livestock to reduce their dependence on polluting firewood and expensive fossil fuels for cooking and lighting. The project also provides additional benefits with the bio-slurry providing a great means for fertilizing and improving local agricultural production.The domestic biodigester disseminated in Cambodia is a ‘Farmer’s Friend’, a fixed dome digester, which has a lifespan of over 20 years. The smallest and most popular digester on the market, it can treat the waste from 2-3 bovines or 4-6 pigs and costs around $500 excluding an investment subsidy of $150.The Cambodian National Biodigester Programme was originally set up in 2006 by the Cambodian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) and SNV Netherlands Development Organization. In the period March 2006 to December 2021&nbsp;nearly&nbsp;29,000 biodigesters&nbsp;were constructed through&nbsp;118 micro-enterprises&nbsp;in&nbsp;15 provinces. The programme was one of the first large-scale biogas projects certified to Gold Standard with support from HIVOS. Since 2017, MAFF uses money generated from the sale of carbon credits to continue running and expanding this programme.What makes the Programme unique?<ul><li>An important success factor is the special biogas loan that is made available through three nationally operating micro-finance institutions.&nbsp; Since 2010, over 70% of households have used a biogas loan to finance their biodigester. Loans are generally paid back within two years.</li><li>The Programme works with a market-based model and has the intention to develop the sector in such a way that it can run without direct involvement of the Programme. The private sector development arm of NBP is therefore establishing independent enterprises in rural areas and building the capacity of those enterprises on marketing and promotion, internal quality control and after sales services.</li></ul><h3 style="margin-left:0px;">Project impacts and benefits:</h3>Livelihood and health improvement:<ul><li>27,980&nbsp;biodigesters constructed from March 2006 to December 2020 /&nbsp;79,256&nbsp;direct beneficiaries</li><li>55.2%&nbsp;of constructed biodigesters still operational; i.e.&nbsp;15,820&nbsp;smoke-free kitchens&nbsp;(December 2020)</li><li>Biogas kitchen air pollution reduced with&nbsp;88%&nbsp;(Particulate Matter 2.5).</li><li>$143 USD saving&nbsp;in expenditures on cooking fuels per household per year</li></ul>Employment creation:<ul><li>118 private enterprises&nbsp;established of which 53 are active</li><li>810 trained&nbsp;masons</li><li>154 trained&nbsp;supervisors</li></ul>Environmental benefits:<ul><li>On average&nbsp;4.02&nbsp;tCO2&nbsp;reduced per digester&nbsp;in 2020</li><li>907,351 tCO2&nbsp;reduced between May 2009 and December 2020</li><li>293,300 tonnes of wood saved</li></ul><a href="https://marketplace.goldstandard.org/collections/projects/products/cambodia-national-biodigester-programme">Project description taken from Gold Standard website.</a>

Cambodia National Biodigester Programme

&nbsp;This cook stove project is run by RIPPLE Africa (a UK charity) and benefits approximately 200,000 people in Malawi. RIPPLE has so far replaced about 40,000 traditional three-stone cooking fires with fuel efficient cook stoves. This project is reducing greenhouse gases emissions as well as preventing deforestation and respiratory diseases in the population. This project therefore benefits approximately 200,000 people. The project has lots of benefits because traditional three-stone fires: - Consume a huge amount of wood resulting in major deforestation. It also takes a lot of time to collect all this wood. This time can be spent on education and other activities. - Produce lots of smoke and so cause health problems such and lung cancer and child pneumonia. This mostly affects women and children. - Are unsafe for children. RIPPLE Africa has made this fuel efficient cook stove a way of life and has significantly reduced Malawi’s greenhouse gas emissions. Have a look at our video on YouTube: <a href="https://youtu.be/73SBVO5PUuM">https://youtu.be/73SBVO5PUuM</a> &nbsp;RIPPLE Africa will use the funds from the sale of the credits to expand the project and support other RIPPLE Africa activities such as fish conservation, tree planting, forest conservation, education and health care services. RIPPLE Africa wants to expand the project so that 500,000 people will benefit from this fuel efficient cook stove. &nbsp;Supporting information can also be found here: - Health issues of traditional cook stoves <a href="http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/health/">http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/health/</a> - Environment issues of traditional cook stoves <a href="http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/environment/index.html">http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/environment/index.html</a> - Livelihood issues of traditional cook stoves <a href="http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/livelihoods/index.html">http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/livelihoods/index.html</a> - Gender issues of traditional cook stoves <a href="http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/women-gender/index.html">http://cleancookstoves.org/impact-areas/women-gender/index.html&nbsp;</a> For more information on this project, <a href="https://cdm.unfccc.int/Projects/DB/TUEV-SUED1397540352.85/view">please click here</a>.
