RESEARCH ON THE FEASIBILITY OF UNIVERSALIZING IMPROVED COOKSTOVE IN THE RURAL MOUNTAINOUS AREA OF VIETNAM

Fortuna Hotel, 6B Lang Ha street, Ba Dinh district, Hanoi

GRET would like to invite you to attend the End-research and experience sharing workshop “Research on the feasibility of applying improved cookstove in the rural mountainous area of Vietnam”.

Most people in rural mountainous area daily use wood and iron bar for lighting and cooking. Nevertheless, the iron bar has many negative impacts on the users: low efficiency, hard kindling or full of smoke. In order to deal with those issues, improved cookstove has been created like an alternative solution.
Improved/advanced cookstove makes use of biomass, has better energy efficiency and reduces the amount of fuel, smoke or cooking time. It contributes to decline illegal deforestation, greenhouse gas emission and environmental pollution. However, that type of cookstove has not been universal for the in Vietnamese rural mountainous area, where there are a great number of people using iron bar.   

Facing that situation, GRET Vietnam, with the sponsorship from Rexel Foundation, decides to make a research on the feasibility of universalizing advanced cookstove in Vietnamese mountainous area. There are 2 main contents in the research:

(1) A large- scale survey in 2 provinces Thanh Hoa and Dien Bien: about the economic condition, cooking habit and cookstove demand.
(2) Experimentation of 2 kinds of improved cookstove T16 ( from Greengen) and 3G ( from Solarserve) in 32 households in Thanh Hoa and Dien Bien.

After the research, GRET would like to share the information and results acquired during this time in order to solicit new partnership, scale up and replication.
