Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the UNFCCC has registered atmosfair’s PoA on improved cookstoves in Nigeria. It is the first cookstove PoA in Africa
 and the second ever registered PoA in Sub-Saharan Africa. The PoA will disseminate up to 100,000 cookstoves within the next 5 years, yielding
emission reductions of up to 250,000 t CO2annually. Under the PoA different types of improved cookstoves using wood can be counted.

atmosfair invites investors from financing institutions or the private sector to invest in CPAs or a group of CPAs under the programme, in return for
Gold Standard CERs which alternatively can be re-purchased by atmosfair at premium prices. The registration takes effect from 1st January 2012.

The PoA documentation can be found at http://cdm.unfccc.int/ProgrammeOfActivities/poa_db/7R1B09HSJV3FKIZYCA4D6XQOETP5GN/view

We opened the link and found the design document for the first 100,000 Stoves intended for Nigeria:
 http://cdm.unfccc.int/filestorage/K/W/4/...

"Technology to be deployed:
The improved cook stove (ICS) disseminated under this SSC-CPA will be the “SAVE80”, a portable stove made of stainless steel,
developed and prefabricated by a German manufacturer and assembled locally to create employment and income.
The initial model has a specified thermal efficiency of 52% and nominal effective thermal power of about 1.5 kW. As per specification
of the manufacturer, the SAVE80 needs only about 250 g of small brittle sticks of wood to bring 6 litres of water to the boil, 80% less than
traditional fire places. The design ensures preheating of the air and a complete combustion with no visible smoke and only small amounts of ash.
Design of the SAVE80 may develop over time.
The SAVE80 system also consists of custom-fit pots, pans and a heat retaining box (‘Wonderbox’),
where food can be transferred after reaching the boiling temperature, and where it will continue to simmer
until it is well cooked.
 The Wonderbox allows important energy savings in addition to the savings by the Save80.
However, these energy savings will not be taken into account for calculating emission reductions
which is increasing the overall conservativeness of the Emission Reduction calculations."
---------------------------------
Above clearly says that German manufacturers will do this with German produced stainless steel that will then be transported to be assembled in Nigeria.
This leaves us ask why could one not transfer the technology to Africa - or is this a case of globalization working in reverse?
NO - WE ARE REALLY NOT IMPRESSED YET!
