This project provides households with a fuel-efficient ONIL (concrete) stove that reduces the amount of firewood required. Every ONIL stove is estimated to save around 4 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 and between 2013 to 2020 had achieved 63,961 Emission reductions (t CO2e), with 34,301 stoves in operation
The project helps rural families in 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:
