Vitol SA is the coordinating/managing entity (CME) of the VPA.The project ICS combust biomass fuels more efficiently, reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and Particulate Matter (PM) emissions, thus improving the indoor air quality in project households. Due to the higher thermal efficiency of the ICS relative to the traditional/baseline stoves, the ICS reduce the amount of non-renewable biomass fuel required for meeting similar thermal energy needs. Thus, replacement of the baseline inefficient stoves with project ICS will reduce non-renewable biomass fuel consumption and hence generate emisison reductions.
