CDM Cookstoves

SAMUHA was instrumental in getting the first two CDM (Clean Development mechanism) Cookstoves registered by UNFCCC in India. a Third CDM Cookstove project is accompanying the CDM Cookstove POA (Programme of Activities), supported by MNRE (Ministry for New & renewable Energy), GOI, and GIZ, the German technical cooperation agency, that is awaiting UNFCCC registration.

JSMBT which registered and implemented the first CDM Cookstove project in India, is a CBO (community-based organisation) promoted and jointly managed by the women's elected directors and SAMUHA nominated directors. This is presently being implemented with a forward purchase of 178,000 CERS by the FairClimate Fund, a Netherlands-based social carbon fund.
