Market Transformation for Highly Efficient Biomass Stoves for Institutions and Medium-Scale Enterprises in Kenya

This GEF-funded market transformation for highly efficient biomass stoves project is aimed at removing market barriers to the adoption of sustainable biomass energy practices and technologies by institutions (schools and hospitals) and small businesses (restaurants, hotels) in the rural and urban areas of Kenya. The project is building on the successful initiatives of local Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and private sector players and scales up successful existing business models using well-proven commercial technologies by removing barriers, which are currently limiting the growth of this market.
