GS Methodologies

• Gold Standard Methodologies Applicable to Cookstove Activities

- Simplified Methodology for Efficient Cookstove (mCookstove Methodology)

- Technologies and Practices to Displace Decentralized Thermal Energy Consumption (TPDDTEC)

- Thermal Energy from Plant Oil for the User of Cookstove

4

GS Methodologies

mCookstove Methodology TPDDTEC

Project Type Thermal Energy Consumption for - Domestic Premises i.e., Household Cooking

Thermal energy consumption for - Domestic premises such as Residential,

Institutional, Schools, Hospitals, Hostels - and /or - Non-domestic premises such as

Industrial or Commercial facilities

Technology (ies)

- Improved firewood Cookstove - Fuel Switching from non-

renewable to renewable fuel

- Improved biomass or fossil fuel cookstoves, solar cookers, bio-digesters

- Ovens, Dryers, Space and Water Heaters (solar and otherwise), Heat retention cookers,

- Safe Water Supply and Treatment Technologies that displace Water Boiling,

- Thermal insulation in Cold Climates, etc.

- Baseline and project technology

- Project Scale

- Applicability conditions

- Monitoring requirements

- Carbon project development cost

Selection of Methodology

mCookstove Methodology TPDDTEC methodology

Project Scale Micro-scale (Less than 10000 ERs per annum)

Micro-scale ERs (< 10000 Small Scale (180 GWh) Large Scale ( No Limit)

Simplified Efficient Cookstove Methodology

– Dispersed and remotely located end users

– Main baseline fuel - Firewood

– Baseline technology - Three Stone fire or other traditional device

– Project Transaction cost

– Monitoring requirements and alternatives

– Options to choose between actual monitoring and default factors applicable to all activities

– Simplified requirements with guidelines

7

Key Elements – Applicability Criteria

Criteria Details Colombia (Yes/No)

Baseline Fuel Fire-wood (Only) Yes

Baseline stove Three stone fire, or a conventional device without a grate or a chimney

Yes

Project stove A single pot or multi pot portable or an in-situ cookstove with a specified efficiency of at least 20%.

Project Stove Selection

No Double Counting

The cookstoves counted in the proposed project activity are not included in any other voluntary market or CDM project activity.

Project level Assessment

Ownership rights to sell the emission reductions Units

This must be communicated to the cookstoves producers, retailers and end users by contract or clear written documents.

Project level measure

Parallel use of baseline Stove

It should be discouraged by providing incentives like discounted price for the improved Cookstove

Project level measure

Key elements – Applicability Criteria

Criteria Details Colombia (Yes/No)

Project Boundary Physical, geographical site of the baseline, project cookstoves and fuel collection area

Project Level Assessment

Target area - A village or a Group of Villages or - Municipalities, - Department or Country, or - Across multiple adjacent countries in a single

sub-region

Project Level Assessment

Fuel production and collection area

- The area within which this woody biomass can reasonably be expected to be produced, collected and supplied

Project Level Assessment

Monitoring requirements

A. Sales Record/ Project database

1. Frequency (Continuous)

• Date of sale and of installation

• Geographic area of sale

• Model/type of project Cookstove(s) sold

• Name and telephone number (if available), address:

• Date of installation

14

A. Monitoring Studies

• User Survey – Frequency (Annual)

– Sample Size

• Project target population < 300: Minimum sample size 30

• Project target population 300 to 1000: Minimum sample size 10% of group size

• Project target population > 1000 Minimum sample size 100
