Bangladesh Offers Model of Successful Clean Cooking Program
ESMAP helped to identify and implement a successful market model for Bangladesh’s improved cookstoves program by building on successful models within the country, partnering with the local development-finance institution, and tapping into a network of local nongovernmental organizations to manufacture and distribute cleaner, more efficient cookstoves.
The program has distributed nearly 1.7 million improved stoves and reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 3 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. By project close, the program expects to reach 4 million households and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a total of 10.5 metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
