Improved cookstoves + solar lamps (MEC)
Microenergy credits for sustainable energy products With this project, efficient cookstoves and solar lamps are replacing wood fires and kerosene lamps in India. This not only saves CO2 emissions, but also reduces health risks, especially for women and children who spend a lot of time at home.
Many local people do not have access to clean energy. They must resort to products that seriously impact health and the environment: cooking is done over open fires, which produces harmful smoke indoors. Light is often provided by kerosene lamps, which increase the risk of fires and injuries. The lamps require kerosene as a fuel, and the open fires a high use of wood, resulting in CO2 emissions.
By awarding Microenergy Credits (MECs) to small businesses, families and households can afford improved cookstoves and solar lamps.

How Microenergy Credits (MECs) projects contribute to climate action
Microenergy Credits projects address energy-related issues while strengthening local entrepreneurship: by offering MECs, regional entrepreneurs can provide energy-efficient products such as efficient cookingstoves, water filters, or solar lights at an affordable price.
The projects incorporate one or more of these technologies and create direct social value: Efficient cookstoves make better use of the energy supplied and reduce the smoke produced when cooking over an open fire. A similar problem exists when households do not have access to clean drinking water, as the water must be boiled over an open fire first before it can be used without hesitation. Remedies include the provision of drinking water treatment aids, such as filters, or access to groundwater from wells. In addition, solar lights help to illuminate the rooms and replace kerosene lamps, which are a frequent cause of fire accidents.
