TASC Cookstove Project

Carbon Avoidance | Energy Demand – Household Devices | Vintage 2021+ | Zimbabwe

The African Stove Company Ltd. (TASC) develop high-impact climate mitigation, fuel efficient Cookstove Projects. They coordinate and manage the distribution of improved cookstoves (ICS) in households in Zimbabwe. ICS combust biomass fuels more efficiently. Due to its higher thermal efficiency compared to the 3-stone fires, it reduces GHG emissions, and the amount of non-renewable biomass fuel consumption required for meeting similar thermal energy needs.

25.50 EUR / Carbon Credit(pricing subject to availability)

Where does your money go?

Investments support operational costs, the production, distribution and implementation of improved cookstove including the training of local households; the monitoring and verification to ensure the quality and reliability of emission reduction data; and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It also enables continued subsidization of stove prices.

Gold Standard Impact Registry - GS11551

Certification and Independent Expert Audit

Gold Standard is an independent third-party organization with established rigorous standards for climate and development interventions to quantify, certify and verify the integrity of carbon offsets that are produced to create value for people around the world and the planet we share.

How Gold Standard certification works?

High QU.A.L.ITY Carbon Credits

QUANTIFICATION: Robust methodology (TPDDTEC version 3.1) quantifies GHG emission reductions. The baseline emissions are calculated and verified through lab tests and field data to ensure accurate and reliable data.

ADDITIONALITY: GHG emission reductions would not have occurred in the absence of the project activity. Report confirms that traditional cooking methods using inefficient three-stone fires would have continued, leading to higher emissions.

LONG-TERM STORAGE: ICS have an expected technical life of 7 years. Significantly reduce the use of non-renewable biomass and save in wood fuel consumption, an annual reduction of 4.66 tonnes per stove, which translates into sustained emission reductions over the lifetime of the stoves.

SUSTAINABILITY: Contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 1,3,5,7,8,12 and 13.

Social Benefits: Supports local communities. Improves health and well-being by improving indoor air pollution, which in turn decreases the risk of respiratory diseases, especially among women and children. Women are empowered and girls can go to school with reduced time to collect firewood.

Economic Benefits: Alleviates financial burdens on households by reducing expenses on biomass fuels and fosters local employment through marketing and sales activities.

Environmental Benefits: Avoids carbon emissions. Conserves nature by reducing deforestation. Better aesthetic, cleaner and more energy efficient than using wood fuel that consume high quantities of non-renewable woody biomass (charcoal & fuelwood).
