Page 3 of 52 SECTION A. Description of project A.1. Purpose and general description of project >> (Provide a brief summary of the detailed description given in section B.1 including purpose of the project, brief description of the installed technology and equipment and relevant dates for the project (e.g. construction start/end, commissioning, continued operation periods, etc.) The GS1021 – “Improved Woodstoves in Udaipur - Helping Women and Environment” project was registered as a GS CDM project. The project was voluntarily de-registered with the UNFCCC and registered as a GS VER project with the Gold Standard. Udaipur Urja Initiatives (UUI) Producer Co. Ltd. the PP of the project helps provide access to appropriate technologies and to market agro-produces for the rural communities. UUI currently works with communities of Udaipur district. UUI is a membership-based entity, in which membership is by the purchase of a share. All the households with ICS in the project activity are members of the Producer Company. Along with cook stoves, the enterprise is building activities on solar lights and trading of agriculture produces grown by its members and other families in the region, thereby bettering the lives of rural communities. Though using GS4GG template, the Monitoring Report is under Version 2.1 of Gold Standard. Purpose of the project activity The purpose of the project activity is to decrease fuel wood consumption by replacing inefficient traditional cook stoves in 18,500 households with efficient fuel wood single pan GREENWAY JUMBO STOVE and GREENWAY SMART cook stoves, in a drought prone, biomass deficient region of India. Based on average thermal efficiency improvement of Greenway Jumbo and Greenway smart stove, each household saves about 2.19 t/year, while in the baseline, the consumption is 3.21 t/household/yr. The savings over the baseline fuel wood consumption is 68.22%. By reducing fuel wood consumption, the project activity reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions stemming from the use of non-renewable biomass. The ICS cook stoves saves about 2.35 t of CO2/yr/family in this region, alongside providing smoke free environment at home and reducing drudgery for collection of fuelwood. This is the second verification report. The distribution of 18,500 ICS were done during the previous monitoring period. During this second monitoring period, monitoring of the use of these stoves and their repair and maintenance was done to ensure maximum use of the stoves. Implementation status of the project The project was registered with the Gold Standard as a GS VER project after transitioning from GS CDM Project. The first ERPA was signed in October 2015 with the carbon revenue, after which orders were placed with Greenway Grameen Infra Pvt. Ltd. for Greenway Smart and Greenway Jumbo stoves. Hence, the project was implemented after the project was registered and carbon forward funding was obtained for implementation of the project. Two ICSs were given to each of the participating households, one each of Greenway Smart and Greenway Jumbo Stove. The first date of distribution of stoves was on 16/01/2016 and last date on 31/07/2017. The ICS were distributed for 19 months in a phased manner as follows, which was during the previous monitoring period, i.e. the first monitoring period.

During this monitoring period, only monitoring, repair and maintenance of stoves was done for maximum use of the stoves. Details of the implemented Stoves Two Improved Cook Stove (ICS) models, GREENWAY SMART STOVE and GREENWAY JUMBO STOVE from Greenway Grameen Infra. Pvt. Ltd was distributed to a family. Fig 1: Greenway smart stove and Grenway Jumbo stove Greenway Smart Stove and Greenway Jumbo Stove: Manufactured by Greenway Grameen Infra. Pvt. Ltd, the Greenway Smart Stove (GSSV3) and Greenway Jumbo Stove are single burner high efficiency cook stoves designed as an eco-friendly and modern replacement for traditional mud and stone stoves. These stoves are an award winning design innovation that uses no moving parts to deliver fuel savings and minimizes harmful emissions of CO, CO2 and Particulate Matter (PM) and delivers convenient cooking without any requirement of fuel processing or change in cooking habits thus solving health, environment and fuel collection effort required for operating traditional stoves. The stove is the result of user centric research across various geographies. The stove operates on all solid fuels as wood, agro-waste, etc. and Page 5 of 52 thus does not require any refurbishing or recurring cost. Its intuitive combustion mechanism automatically adjusts to the operators requirements and requires no training or adaption for usage, thus making it flexible and easy to use (Greenway Grameen Infra. Pvt. Ltd). The specifications of Greenway Smart Stove are as follows: Materials: Steel and Aluminum with Bakelite Handles Loading Capacity of up to 25 Kg Fuel supporting steel grate Secondary Air Induction Mechanism 4 point top versatile support like gas stove Thermal efficiency 32.098% The thermal efficiency test was done in accordance with BIS 13152 The specifications of Greenway Jumbo Stove is as follows: Size: 12.4" x 10.6" x 11.6" Materials: Steel and Aluminum with Bakelite Handles Loading Capacity: 40 kg Secondary Air Induction Mechanism 4 point top versatile support like gas stove Thermal efficiency 31.17% based on thermal efficiency test conducted in accordance with BIS 13152 Both the stoves are single burner high efficiency cook with similar working . The differences of stoves are with regard to loading capacity and a slight difference in thermal capacity as shown above. The Smart Stove is ideal for smaller families i.e. 4 to 6 persons while the Jumbo may be used for larger households or bulk cooking. A.2.
