To date 35 000 households have purchased these cookstoves, offsetting 15 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions and employing over 200 people. The business model is easily replicable in many countries (Green Economy Coalition, www.greeneconomycoalition.org/glimpses/eJJicient-cooking-stoves-ghana-china). These include use of wind, solar, and biomass among others, thereby simultaneously reducing the country’s need to spend foreign exchange on importing fossil fuels rather than on other development objectives such as health care and education (UNCSD submission Jamaica, 2012). A framework of regulations and incentives is gradually being put in place to encourage the production of renewable energy.
