About the project
This project provides local residents in the rural area of Zhangye, Gansu province in Northwestern China the opportunity to switch to solar cookers to use for their daily cooking tasks in place of coal powered cookstoves.
At a glance
49,000 solar cookers installed 196,000 local community members impacted
Project Benefits
- Primary energy source for cooking tasks is moved away from fossil fuels (coal), displacing any resulting carbon emissions
Improves the air quality and living conditions inside local homes Provides an affordable and reliable source of clean energy

UN Sustainable Development Goals
Affordable and Clean Energy. Energy is essential to nearly every major change and opportunity.
Sustainable Cities and Communities. There needs to be a future in which cities provide opportunities for all, for access to basic services, energy, transportation and more.
Life on Land. Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss.
How it works
Participating households pay a small part towards the solar cooker cost Project developer secures funding through the sale of carbon offsets to fund the remaining costs of the solar cookers Households are fit with the solar cookers, which harness energy from the sunshine in this very sunny region Because the cookers are solar powered there is no need for the use of fossil fuels for everyday cooking tasks, reducing CO2 emissions.
Social
These projects support communities by improving quality of life and stimulating economic development. This is achieved through initiatives like improved household technologies and access to everyday necessities like clean drinking water.
