How improved stoves work

By lifting the burning fuel, more air flows underneath, reaching the combustion chamber above. This concentrates more solid fuel and hot air. The combustion chamber is well insulated, so less heat is wasted. Additionally, the inclusion of a simple chimney on an improved stove can improve combustion by increasing airflows while reducing indoor air pollution.

Why are improved stoves good for the environment and for us?

Clean technology that generates environmental and social benefits

30% savings for families (6500 FCFA/F)

-30/40% of wood and coal consumption

-90% of greenhouse gas

Improved user health (less smoke, increased safety)

The benefits of promoting the use of improved stoves

Why invest in stoves?

Transformation of the local economy away from dependence on forests

Long-term annual income

A way to value and sustainably manage forests

How improved stoves work

Our improved stoves

One improved stove used for one year saves a wooded area equivalent to the area of four tennis courts.

Our Project Goals:

Private and institutional investors dedicated to the conservation of natural resources aimed to ...

1. Participate in Togo's effort to respect its CC commitments

2. Contribute to improving the quality of life of populations

3. Contribute at the protection and enhancement of country's natural resources

Our experience in the development of IMPROVED STOVES Projects

Support program for the fight against climate change (PALCC Togo) Total project value:
€10 000 000
Funding: EU

AGIR Regional Program (Guinea Conakry, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Senegal) Total project value:
€27 000 000
Funding: EU

Our Project Strategy:

1. AFRICA 4 CLIMATE funds local NGOs, which are trained in the carbon credit process.

2. NGOs train improved ovens makers, creating jobs

3. The stoves produced are sold at 50% of their price (50% is subsidized by AFRICA 4 CLIMATE)

4. Improved stoves generate benefits for the local population, thanks to a saving of wood and charcoal and therefore of expenditures

5. Use of improved stoves reduces the emissions of CO2.

How carbon projects work

Each ton of CO2 equivalent avoided by a project is equivalent to a carbon credit. Entities that want to offset their emissions can purchase these carbon credits. Funds raised through the sale of carbon credits are used to increase the sustainability of projects and further reduce emissions.
