2 SECTION A. General description of CPA A.1. Title of the proposed or registered PoA >> Paradigm Sub Saharan Africa Cook Stove Programme A.2. Title of the CPA >> TPP-CPA-02-ETH Oromia Cookstove Distribution Project A.3. Description of the CPA >> Purpose of the Project Activity: Paradigm Cook Stove Programme: Ethiopia 02 (the project activity or CPA ) is a small scale project activity that will introduce Improved Cook Stoves hereinafter referred to as ICSs or appliances within the terrestrial boundaries of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. The ICSs shall reduce the non-renewable biomass consumption required to provide thermal energy for domestic cooking requirements. The CPA is implemented under the Programme of Activities titled Paradigm Sub Saharan Africa Cook Stove Programme. The said PoA is a voluntary initiative of The Paradigm Project in partnership with Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union. The project will disseminate two improved cookstoves stoves, one for cooking and the other for baking, in each project household. The Tikikil stove (for Cooking) is a rocket stove with skirt that has been adopted to suit the cooking requirements of most Ethiopian households and designed for local production techniques; and hence named Tikikil meaning Appropriate. The second stove is named Mirt and is used for injera baking purpose. Together, both technologies will displace traditional cooking stoves for all household cooking needs. The key partners of the project are Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union, Horn of Africa Regional Environment Centre and Network, Oromia Water, Irrigation and Energy Bureau, Fairclimate Fund and ICCO. The project will target households through the OCFCU network throughout Oromia, selling to the broader community. The ICSs distributed in the project activity are point of use cooking appliances targeted at rural/urban poor households who rely on traditional wood stoves or low efficiency cook stoves in Ethiopia. The appliances distributed will reduce non-renewable biomass consumption and in so doing abate GHG emissions. The improved thermal efficiency of the ICSs will reduce fuel consumption, levels of indoor air pollution and the time and effort/money required to collect/purchase fuel. The use of non-renewable biomass for thermal energy generation at the domestic level has numerous adverse environmental, economic and social effects. While the project activity will not completely displace the use of non-renewable biomass, the reduction in the quantities of biomass consumed will have the following sustainable development benefits within the project boundary. Environmental Good Practice: I. Reduced Indoor Air Pollution II. Abated GHG emissions throughout the lifetime of the project activity III. Reduced pressure on forest resources for non woody biomass either as woody biomass directly or in its derivative form as charcoal. Version 03.0 Page 2 of 42

3 Social Aspects CDM-SSC-CPA-DD-FORM I. Reduced household expenditure on treatment of IAP related illnesses II. Reduced expenditure/distances travelled to purchase/collect firewood III. Reduce the domestic burden of women and children (girls) who are often burdened with the collection of wood fuel and cooking. Economic benefits I. The project activity will stimulate the creation of local jobs for assembly, distribution and maintenance tasks requisite for the implementation of the project activity. A.4. Entity/individual responsible for the operation of CPA >> The CPA operator defined below is a project implementer and Project Participant to the proposed CPA under the PoA Paradigm Sub Saharan Africa Cook Stove Programme.

Technical description of the CPA >> TPP-CPA-02-ETH shall distribute improved cook stoves in Ethiopia with the following performance characteristics: Table 1: Technical Characteristics of Tikikil Stove Parameter Value Units Height 36 cm Width 27 Cm Thermal efficiency 28 % Average lifetime 2 years Table 2: Technical Characteristics of Mirt Stove Parameter Value Units Height cm Width Cm Thermal efficiency 22 % Average lifetime >5 years Version 03.0 Page 3 of 42

4 Figure 1: Tikikil Figure 2: Mirt Tikikil Stove: Tikikil stove with Thermal efficiency of 28% is used for cooking. It uses firewood as fuel which is continuously fed into the combustion chamber. The stove has a cylindrical inner clay liner as combustion chamber, covered with galvanized sheet metal on the outside. The 4cm thick liner has internal diameter of 11cm and is 23.5cm high. At its bottom is an 11cmX11cm opening as fuel and air inlet. A fuel shelf which is made of 6mm steel round bar also is part of the stove. Tikikil is available in two types: single-skirt and double-skirt. The single-skirt Tikikil is designed to accommodate a 25cm diameter pot (hence fixed size) which is a typical size used in most of Ethiopian households. The double-skirt Tikikil can accommodate 27cm and 31cm diameters of Version 03.0 Page 4 of 42

5 pots. Smaller sized pots can also be accommodated but with efficiency losses. Conservative estimates suggest a life of 2 years for some of the stove parts such as the skirt and top plate which are exposed to high temperature and flame. These parts can easily be replaced whenever they wear. The production of Tikikil stove is limited to specific locations based on producer s capacity to access the raw material and sufficient skill to produce the stove. Thus, the Local government at Zone level will closely follow up the quality of stoves produced by those entities before dissemination. Mirt Stove: Mirt stove is used for baking Injera. Injera is a pan cake like thin bread made of teff flour native to Ethiopia. With Mirt stove it is also possible to cook or boil food while baking injera with no additional fuel. Mirt with thermal efficiency of 22% is produced with mortar- a mixture of scoria (red ash) or pumice or river sand with cement. The stove has six parts that are joined together. Four parts fit to make a cylindrically shaped enclosure (about 66cm in diameter and 24cm high) where the firewood is burned under a baking plate. Two other parts joined one atop the other and are fitted with the cylindrical enclosure from behind. These last two parts regulate the flow of smoke in the stove and provide a rest for the cooking pot. Mirt, produced using a standard mould, has already become a commodity in many places, thus market forces regulate the quality of the stoves. The above listed cookstoves will replace the baseline scenario, which is a continuation of the current practice of using biomass (wood fuel) to provide thermal energy for cooking in the household using low efficiency cook stoves. The project scenario will reduce the quantities of nonrenewable biomass consumed by introducing high efficiency cook stoves. A majority (96.8%) of households in Ethiopia rely on traditional open fires (three stone fires) or stoves without a chimney hood or grate. Therefore these stoves shall be assigned a default thermal efficiency of 0.10 in line with provisions of the baseline and monitoring methodology AMS- II.G which reads: A default value of 0.10 may be optionally used if the replaced device is a three stone fire, or a conventional device with no improved combustion air supply or flue gas ventilation, that is without a grate or a chimney. A comprehensive analysis of baseline technologies and practices in Ethiopia has been presented in a baseline report prepared by the CME. Accordingly a weighted average to include the improved cook stoves in Ethiopia has been calculated for a default thermal efficiency of A.6.

9 Sectoral Scope: 03 - Energy Demand Type II Project activities - energy efficiency improvement project activities which reduce energy consumption, on the supply and/or demand side, by up to the equivalent of 60 gigawatt hours per year; (This provision has been incorporated into paragraph 4 of Section 2.2 of the baseline and monitoring methodology AMS-II.G at 180 GWh thermal per year in fuel input. 4 ) D.2. Applicability of methodology(ies) and standardized baseline(s) >> Methodological Requirements: The following parameters as defined in the baseline and monitoring methodology AMS-II.G clearly demonstrate how the baseline and monitoring methodology AMS-II.G applies to the proposed CPA: AMS-II.G requirements 1. This category comprises appliances involving the efficiency improvements in the thermal applications of non-renewable biomass. Examples of these technologies and measures include the introduction of high efficiency biomass fired cook stoves. All Improved Cook Stoves distributed in the SSC CPA shall be high thermal efficiency biomass cook stoves which have been independently certified based on international/national standards or based on manufacturer certification. Specifics of the cookstoves implemented in this CPA can be found at section A.5. Water Boiling Test Certificates for the same have been availed as supporting evidence at the time of validation of this CPA. 2. The efficiency of the project systems as certified by a national standards body or an appropriate certifying agent recognized by it. Alternatively manufacturer s specifications may be used. 3. Project participants are able to show that non-renewable biomass has been used since 31 December 1989, using survey methods or referring to published literature, official reports or statistics. The history of non-renewable biomass consumption in Ethiopia can be traced far beyond the 1989 deadline set in the methodology with the energy source being the most pivotal energy resource to the land locked nation. A separate baseline report has been prepared by the CME to demonstrate non-renewable biomass consumption in Ethiopia since 1989 as based on paragraph 17 (b) and (c) of the baseline and monitoring methodology AMS-II.G. 4. It is assumed that in the absence of the project activity, the baseline scenario would be the use of fossil fuels for meeting similar thermal energy needs. This scenario has been defined in detail in Section D.4 of this CPA DD. 5. PoA specific methodological requirements: Paragraph 29 (c) of the methodology provides that CPAs may use a default net to gross adjustment factor to account for leakage in the methodology. This approach has been used in the CPA 4 Paragraph 4 of the methodology Version 03.0 Page 9 of 42

10 Paragraph 30 allows CPAs to use default national ƒ NRB values. The condition for the applicability of this requirement is that the decision is made ex-ante and is applicable to all CPAs under the PoA. The CPA has adopted this approach and used a default fnrb value of Option (b) in Paragraph 30 of the methodology has been selected which excludes this CPA from the provisions of paragraph 31 of the methodology. Small Scale Eligibility: To ensure that the number of ICS distributed in this project activity does not exceed the 180 GWth limit, the following guidance from the PoA DD shall be used to ensure compliance with the small scale eligibility requirement: Thermal energy savings = B y, savings * NCV 5 biomass (1) The parameter B y, savings is calculated using Option 2 or 3 of paragraph 12 therefore the thermal output shall be calculated as follows: or (applies to data collected using WBTs) (applied to data collected using CCTs) The equation is then modified to calculate the total thermal output for all the ICS distributed in the project activity as follows: Thermal output = B y, savings *NCV biomass * Number of ICSs (3) However the number of ICSs is unknown at the time of distribution of the ICSs and therefore to quantify the number of the ICSs which can be deployed the equation is modified as follows:. (4) TPP-CPA-02-ETH shall distribute the (Tikikil stove with Thermal efficiency of 28% and Mirt Stove with Thermal Efficiency of 22%). Woody biomass, charcoal, dung and agricultural residues remain the most dominant sources of fuel for domestic thermal energy consumption in Ethiopia, with a majority of the households relying on three stone traditional fires. The efficiency of the baseline appliances to be replaced in the project activity therefore is which a weighted average of both traditional and improved cook stoves in Ethiopia. 5 This value shall be converted from TJ/tonne to GWH/tonne which translates to GWh/tonne: DD.pdf?t=Yzl8bTdwcWxlfDC_LanW3e9-cUxNh2nZK-7i Version 03.0 Page 10 of 42

12 Figure 2: Physical Delineation of the CPA The physical delineation of the CPA is the households in which the improved cook stoves shall be installed and used. D.4. Description of the baseline scenario >> In the absence of the project activity, the baseline scenario is the use of fossil fuels for meeting similar thermal energy needs. The current practice which the improved cook stoves deployed in the project scenario will displace is the use of low thermal efficiency stoves which use non-renewable biomass in the baseline scenario. A separate baseline report has been availed as supporting evidence to justify the baselines stoves described in this CPA DD as well as the fact that non-renewable biomass consumption has been used in the country since December 31 st To meet the conditions of the eligibility criteria however a summary of the same is provided below: The chart below derived from the 2005 Demographic and Health Survey in Ethiopia describes a scenario where 96.8% of households in the country rely on traditional stoves or open fires. This fits within the methodological default thermal efficiency of 0.10 however a value of has been used as a weighted average to incorporate improved cook stoves used in Ethiopia. The weighted average efficiency of the baseline stoves was derived from national data the proportion of households in the baseline scenario using traditional stoves with a default efficiency of 0.10 (established at 96.8% of the total population) and the proportion using improved stoves with a default efficiency of 0.20 (established at 3.2% of the total population). The thermal efficiency of either stove type was based of the default values in the baseline and monitoring methodology AMS-II.G. Using these values the weighted efficiency is calculated as follows: Parameter Percentage Use Thermal Efficiency Traditional Stoves 96.8% 0.10 Improved Stoves 3.2% 0.20 Total 100% Version 03.0 Page 12 of 42

13 Figure 3: Stove Types in Ethiopia 8 Non Renewable biomass Consumption since 1989: Biomass consumption in the form of wood and charcoal has a well recorded history in Ethiopia since and before the 1989 date required by the methodology. The methodology does however require that the biomass consumption is proved to be non-renewable within the definition of the small scale methodology AMS-II.G. To do so, the CME has demonstrated that there has been a historical trend in the increase in fuel wood prices and a reduction in carbon stocks which meet the methodological criteria for non-renewable biomass under paragraph 17 (b) and (c) 9.
