OUR MAJOR ONGOING PROJECT : Commercialisation of Improved Biomass Fuels & Cooking Devices in India: Scale-Up Funding Agency: Shell Foundation, UK
Project Duration: Jan 2006 to Dec 2009
With
a view to tackle Indoor Air Pollution, the major health concern in
rural households presently using traditional biomass fuels in
traditional cookstoves, this project is aimed at establishing
sustainable business chains for supplying clean biomass energy cooking
products to the rural population in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Based on a
successful pilot project during 2003-05, which proved that rural
households are willing to buy the products if there is a proper
emphasis on awareness generation and availability of the products at an
affordable cost through commercial channels, this scale up project
aspires to reach out to at least 16,00,000 rural households at the end
of its duration.
