CONTEXT

Population

Population using solid fuels for cooking Rural population using solid fuels Access to clean fuels (% of population with access to electricity and gas) Number of deaths per year from Household Air Pollution

SHEA BUTTER PROCESS Most of the producers and cooperatives rely on fuelwood and charcoal as a primary source of energy For one kilogram of shea butter, the firewood consumption is approximately 3.45 kg In some countries, the fuel wood consumption has led to such fuel scarcity

STOVEPLUS ANSWERS Introduce 30 locally produced ICS into the shea processing system and monitor uses

Understand the obstacles to long-term adoption and identify their lifespan according to their process

More than 70% of the fuel is saved compared to a traditional three stone fire

2 production centers with traditional and semi-modern processes supported to allow

40% Shea’s GHGs avoided by using improved cookstoves Replace 100% of the existing stoves during the butter production (with the exception of LPG stoves)

PARTNERS ICCO Katene Kadji

replication in such production centers Build solid evidence on the performance of certain locally produced stoves

Support women to improve their fuel usage and streamline their production process

IMPACTS Favour access to more appropriate technologies to reduce fuel consumption and move towards being carbon neutral in the shea butter production process for the cooperatives or shea butter businesses
