Energy Efficient Stoves - India (Pune)
co2balance is working with local social groups in India to replace the use of open fires for cooking with energy efficient cooking stoves. Our energy efficient stoves are made entirely in India and utilise the ‘Rocket stove’ technology which offers a good balance between cost, life expectancy and efficiency, whilst reducing firewood consumption.
In addition to the saving in greenhouse gas emissions, the reduced need for firewood and the burning of rubbish leads to a corresponding reduction in the amount of time spent collecting cooking fuel. The recipients of the energy efficient technology also gain considerable co-benefits such as reduced costs and a considerably improved environment from a health and safety perspective.
This is another example of co2balance seeking projects with a wide range of additional benefits to the receiving community, including health, financial, social and environmental. In this way, we can maximise the project’s achievements beyond simple carbon saving.
