UNFCCC Global Climate Action:

UNIPGC Partners GREENPLINTH AFRICA towards an Improved and Efficient Cooking Energy Solution for Nigeria.
... Sets to Distribute over 1 million highly efficient cookstoves to low-income and poor families across Nigeria for free.

This Initiative is endorsed and supported by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) located at the UN Campus in Bonn, Germany.

The Improved and Efficient Cooking Energy Solution for Nigeria Initiative aims at the dissemination and distribution of up to 80,000,000 highly efficient improved fuel wood stoves for free to women, low income, and poor families across Nigeria.

Deforestation and desertification have become a major concern in Nigeria, as wood demand for heat energy both for household and commercial purposes largely exceeds the available renewable woody biomass. The Improved cooking system saves more than 80% of fuel wood. By reducing the fuel wood consumption, the project activity hence reduces deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions stemming from the use of non-renewable biomass.

The Initiative phases involve the Procurement, Assembling and Commissioning of highly efficient fuel wood cook stoves as well as awareness and sensitization campaigns and training of users mainly in households across the 36 States of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory. Up to now, highly efficient woodstoves with savings of more than 80 % are not available in the country.
