Description

The project focuses on the widespread adoption of high-efficiency biomass-fired Improved Cooking Stoves (ICSs), replacing traditional wood-fuel cookstoves 
and three-stone fires in Bangladesh. 
This initiative addresses the significant reliance on solid biomass fuel for cooking in Bangladesh, where about 81% of the population uses such fuels, often leading to environmental and health issues​.

The project adheres to the Gold Standard methodology titled "Technologies and Practices to Displace Decentralized Thermal Energy Consumption" version 4.0, dated 07/10/2021. 
This methodology applies to projects introducing technologies or practices that reduce or displace greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from thermal energy consumption in households and other facilities. It involves 
the distribution of improved cookstoves, which reduce the use of non-renewable firewood, thereby decreasing GHG emissions through more efficient fuel consumption 
and combustion mechanisms​​.
