Implementation of Cookstove project reaching 100,000 households in Lao PDR

C-Quest Capital LLC

C-Quest Capital is a social impact project developer providing access to sustainable energy services and clean energy technologies to families in poor communities around the world.

Civitas, with the support of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE), designed methodology for participant enrolment and user training materials and installed energy efficient cookstoves replacing open fires in 100,000 rural Lao households across 11 provinces. Each household was provided with two cookstoves, one imported and one locally produced, to encourage completed stop of cooking on open fires. Our teams engaged with communities, demonstrated the stoves capabilities before enrolling and registering targeted rural households; for carbon credit trade.
