KOKO Cookstove Project

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

KOKO Network Ltd. enable the distribution of high efficiency bio-ethanol fuel cookstoves and last-mile delivery of bio-ethanol fuel through a network of fuel-ATMs (KOKOpoints) installed in local shops. It promotes its use for cooking purposes in households and institutions falling in the SME category in Kenya including inter alia, restaurants, commercial facilities such as shops, public services, buildings and other organizations/associations.

25.50 EUR / Carbon Credit(pricing subject to availability)

Where does your money go?

Investments are used to support the dissemination and maintenance of ethanol-based cookstoves in Kenya and expand the project. This includes the procurement and distribution of cookstoves, monitoring of their usage, and ensuring that the bioethanol supply chain is maintained.

Certification and Independent 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.

High QU.A.L.ITY Carbon Credits

QUANTIFICATION: Robust methodology (AMS I.E Version 09.) quantifies GHG emission reductions. This includes continuous monitoring of parameters such as the total mass of freight transported, quantity of bioethanol consumed, and distance traveed by freight vehicles. The monitoring data is verified through cross-checks and consistent recording to ensure accurate and reliable data.

ADDITIONALITY: GHG emission reductions would not have occurred in the absence of the project activity to switch households from non-renewable biomass (charcoal/wood) to renewable bioethanol.

LONG-TERM STORAGE: Ensured through continuous monitoring and verifying operational status and efficiency of the cookstoves. Project use a sampling-based approach to verify that the distributed cookstoves remain operational and effectively reduce emissions over time.

SUSTAINABILITY: Contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 3, 5, 7 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).
