CONTEXT
Population
ICS SECTOR
Rural Population
Cookstove production in Myanmar is largely fragmented and non-standardized
Population using solid fuels for cooking
The performance of the cookstoves remains unknown and their efficiency is contested
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
Supporting ICS sector development and working with our partner EGG to scale up the production, supply and promotion of improved
Reduce CO, CO2 and particulate matter emissions (PM 2.5) into the atmosphere Protect the climate and local environment, and diminish pressure on natural resources 300 000 Burmese households spend about 30% less money buying charcoal and less time
cookstoves. Stimulating domestic demand for ICS.
Consumers rarely have information on the quality, performance or safety of such equipment Absence of stove testing facilities, common stove performance protocols and cookstove standards
STOVEPLUS ANSWERS Fostering a policy environment that is supportive of positive climate and energy action.
IMPACTS
