Description

The small-scale project activity involves marketing, distributing, and financing improved cookstoves and solar lighting systems, for low-income households and microentrepreneurs in India. Future sales of solar lighting systems may happen in any state but within the geographic boundary of the PoA i.e. the country of India. However, it will be ensured at all times that the threshold for SSC projects is not exceeded and the PoA eligibility criteria are met. These products provide clean energy for cooking and renewable energy for lighting. The cookstoves distributed under the VPA replaces traditional cookstoves thereby reducing the amount of fuelwood used for cooking in the baseline by households and thus reducing GHG emissions corresponding to the fuelwood saving by the project activity. The solar lighting systems replace kerosene-based lamps in households, which would have resulted in GHG emissions due to burning of fossil fuel i.e. kerosene.
