Over 900 million people in India, primarily from marginalised communities, are exposed to indoor air pollution through the use of traditional firewood-based cookstoves. Nearly 3,60,000 people die prematurely every year due to illnesses attributable to indoor air pollution. These communities spend a significant amount of time a) gathering fuel in the form of firewood and biomass and b) cooking on traditional cookstoves. Since >82% of households rely on wood as fuel, this is also a leading cause of deforestation.
Our project delivers improved cookstoves to these marginalised communities and uses carbon revenues to provide these devices nearly free of cost. By reducing the consumption of non-renewable firewood and biomass as well as providing energy-efficient cookstoves, our project is reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enabling a healthier life for the community, and creating green jobs.

Fossil fuel use is responsible for the majority of global carbon emissions. Nearly 41% of power, worldwide, is generated using fossil fuels. Our project recognises the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions by supporting the energy transition from fossil fuels to clean renewable energy. 
The project generates renewable energy certificates for solar/wind-based power generation. By generating approximately 73 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of energy that can be tracked, our project is helping companies achieve their renewable energy adoption goals.
