Estimated benefits over the project lifetime Through this project, the distribution and installation of approximately 500,000 ICS will be undertaken for households in South Africa. It is intended that under this project single pot, TLC-CQC Rocket Stove will be distributed. Each household will receive up to 2 ICS per household. The ICS will burn wood more efficiently thereby improving thermal transfer to pots, hence saving fuel. Not only will this halt the rapidly progressing deforestation in South Africa but will also reduce health hazards from indoor smoke pollution and women and children will have to spend less time collecting firewood. The end user will be informed in advance that the use of ICS generates carbon finance which in turn is used for subsidising the price of ICS and for recovering project implementation costs.

Estimated benefits over the project lifetime This project seeks to increase access of households and communities to improved cookstoves by disseminating high thermal efficiency and low greenhouse gas emitting cooking stoves. This will in turn reduce deforestation as less firewood would be utilised for cooking. It will also avoid soil erosion and nutrient loss from degradation of forests. The improved cook stoves to be distributed would provide co-benefits to users in the form of reduced exposure to health-damaging indoor air pollutions due to the burning of firewood in traditional inefficient cook stoves, and create decent work for local people leading to a sustainable source of income. Gathering of firewood and cooking are major tasks undertaken primarily by women and young girls especially in rural communities. The time saved from gathering firewood and cooking can be spent on productive, educational and income earning activities.”
