Udalguri district, Assam, India

Global Cookstove Program (EKI Phase 01)

The main purpose of project is distribution of fuel-efficient improved cook stoves (ICS) in India initially and will expand the same for other Asian and African countries. The ICS disseminated through this project will replace the old low efficient baseline cook stoves. Through this project, the distribution and installation of ICS will be undertaken for households and communities/non-household. It is intended that under this project high thermal efficient cook stoves will be distributed. The ICS will burn wood more efficiently thereby improving thermal transfer to pots, hence saving fuel and greenhouse gases. Not only will this halt the rapidly progressing deforestation but will also reduce health hazards from indoor smoke pollution and women and children will have to spend less time collecting firewood.
