![]() ![]() Furthermore, ICS stoves also reduced CO 2e emission per stove per year by 0.65 and 0.27 tons, respectively. ![]() The use of Mirt and Tikikil compared to the traditional stove has reduced the household wood consumption by 35% and 18%, respectively. The result suggests significant differences in total and per capita wood consumption ( p < 0.05) between improved and TCS. The emission reduction potential of both ICS and TCS was calculated based on the Clean Development Mechanism and United Nation’s Framework of Convention on Climate Change and presented in CO 2 equivalent (CO 2e). A kitchen performance test (KPT) was carried out based on 3 days of repeated fuelwood use measurements to compare the wood-saving performance of ICS in comparison with the traditional cookstove (TCS). The study households were selected following cross-sectional and longitudinal study designs. The study was conducted in Tigray region in northern Ethiopia. Thus, this research was initiated to address the knowledge gap. However, the performance of these technologies in terms of saving fuelwood and their contribution to CO 2 emission reduction in a real kitchen was not studied systematically. The concerned government agencies have been widely making concerted efforts to reverse the situation by of promotion of improved cookstoves (ICS). As a result, deforestation rate has alarmingly increased associated with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and land degradation. Tewoldeberhan also said that “Green development free of pollution keeps the environment clean so that climate change crisis is reduced”.Ĭommenting on the late PM Meles’s vision to create Green Economy, the Advisor explained that he was acutely aware of the impact of climate changes right from the beginning and made his policies reduce the impact of pollution.In Ethiopia, biomass contributes to about 92% of the household fuel consumption. One of the aims of the country in carrying out this strategy is to provide the people excess of electricity and meaningfully reduce the destruction of forest for fuel, he wondered.ĭr. Tewoldeberhan Gebregzabher said that the country is registering dramatic changes in implementing robust polices to reduce the impact of climate change.Įthiopia is adapted and reoriented its economic policies into Climate Resilient Green Economy having implemented projects like electrical railways, hydro-dams and restoring the environment, he stressed.Īll the big projects being built in Ethiopia not only connect the region economically but also play a significant role in minimizing the impacts of climate changes. Addis Ababa, Novem(WIC) – Ethiopia has been committed and working to make zero net carbon emission by 2025, ten years from now, Environmental Advisor in the Ministry of Environment and Forest said. ![]()
