This image is from the C-Quest Capital ONIL Cookstoves project in Guatemala
This project provides households with a fuel-efficient ONIL (concrete) stove that reduces the amount of firewood required. Every ONIL stove in saves around 3 tonnes of carbon emissions per year. The project is designed to reach over 350,000 households in Guatemala over the next decade with improved cookstoves.
By choosing Castrol you are helping us to finance projects like this one, which help rural families across Guatemala benefit from reduced fuel costs thanks to increased efficiency of the cookstoves compared to open fires. ONIL cookstoves use chimney flues to exhaust cooking gases outside of the building, which means families who are part of the project are less likely to suffer from respiratory illnesses. Other benefits to local communities include:
