SCM0001: Methodology for the installation of Energy Efficient Cookstoves

Description.

SCM0001 is a methodology revision of the CDM small-scale methodology AMS-II.G. This methodology is applicable to project activities that introduce new efficient thermal energy generation units, e.g. efficient biomass fired cookstoves, ovens, or dryers, or the retrofit of existing units to reduce the use of non-renewable biomass for combustion. Through this methodology revision, efficient biomass fired cookstoves, ovens, or dryers, may replace fossil fuel fired baseline stoves/dryers or oven as well which are not permitted under the original methodology.

In addition to revisions to the applicable activities, the methodology increases the scope of eligible project sizes from small-scale projects, to projects and large-scale projects.

    Notes:

    • Increased scope of eligible devices to include Solar Cookers

    • Revised how the percentage of biomass that is non-renewable is calculated (options include: use of WISDOM, approach outlined in the appendix, or CDM default value)

    • Increased three-stone fire efficiency to 15% to increase conservatism

    • Addition of applicability conditions if Jurisdictional REDD+ programmes are implemented in the same area as the project
