2. www.gtz.de/hera Percentage of households using biomass fuels Quelle: World Energy Outlook, International Energy Agency, 2006 Biomass is the prevailing energy source for cooking in developing countries

3. www.gtz.de/hera The Challenge  UN Millennium Project recommendation to achieve the MDGs: ‘By 2015, to reduce the number of people without effective access to modern cooking fuels by 50 percent, and make improved cook stoves widely available’ Every day, an additional 500,000 people have to get access to improved cooking energy!

4. www.gtz.de/hera Efficient and clean burning Stoves (Firewood, Charcoal. …) Sustainable Woodenergy supply (afforestation, efficient charcoal production) Alternative Energies (LPG, green fuels, solar. Biogas, electricity,..) Strategies to ensure access to sustainable, clean and affordable cooking energy

6. www.gtz.de/hera Scaling Up of Improved Woodfuel Stoves saved househ. budget income generation Achieving Millennium Development Goals increased use of improved woodfuel stoves stove quality control stove marketing training of trainers & stove producers stove technology development more stoves on the market more knowledge & awareness household energy promotion campaigns mainstreaming household energy in public sector stove producers & sales persons stove users & decision makers focus on more time available less indoor air pollution environmental protection improved safety increased access to modern cooking energy activities Impact Chain OECD DAC highly agg. impact impacts of intervention outcomes use of outputs outputs business & job creation

7. www.gtz.de/hera Example : Uganda – Benefits of the “Rocket Lorena” stove  400.000 stoves within 4 years  A family using an improved Rocket Lorena saves:  3.1 kg firewood per day respectively 1.13 tonnes annually  7 hours per week in collecting firewood and cooking time  26 EUR per year on fuel, equal to an extra month’s pay  Every second woman reports suffering less eye irritation, coughs or accidental burns  Every stove saves about 1 to CO 2/ per year 1 EUR invested yields a return of 25 EUR! (considering 10 years and a 10% discount rate) Scaling up Access to efficient Cookstoves

8. www.gtz.de/hera Lessons Learned: Why does it effectively work in Uganda?  The technology: convenient, modern and affordable!!!  The approach: commercial dissemination, building local value chains, using local partners, intensive monitoring  Reaching a critical mass: once the stove becomes popular (30-50% coverage), the stove becomes a must-have for others  Public sector investment from national plus international partners: » Investment (German & Dutch Governments) for a stove project is <7 € per person » Ugandan government very supportive in setting up favourable frame conditions (e.g. the Biomass Energy Strategy)
