This project supports the distribution and use of solar cookers and efficient cookers. The consumption of fuel for cooking purposes can thus be considerably reduced.
The solar cooker project is located in the dry province Ningxia in the northwest of China. Implemented by Ningxia Federal Intertrade Co. Ltd, the proposed project will install 17,000 solar cookers at a reduced price for the rural population. Each solar cookers has a rated output of 773.5 W, which leads to a total project thermal output of 13 MW.
The distribution of the solar cookers allows the rural population to give up cooking with climate-damaging coal, and to efficiently use affordable, renewable energy from now on. Every year, about 35,000 tons of CO2 emissions will be saved.
The carbon offset project makes an important contribution to the sustainable development of this Chinese region: The project promotes the use of clean energy and increases the consciousness for climate protection among the villagers. The knowledge about solar energy technology is transferred into the partly underdeveloped region, which consequently benefits the education and training of the rural population. Moreover, the carbon offset project serves as a demonstration model for future projects of this, or a similar type.
