The Gyapa™ Cookstoves project, also known as original Gyapa™ provides clean, efficient cookstoves to families in Ghana. Each stove uses about half the fuel of traditional alternatives, saving families money ($120 annually) reducing deforestation, and cutting carbon emissions.

Sep 4, 2020 · More than 1.5 million Gyapa Stoves have been sold across Ghana, saving more than 4 million tonnes of CO2e emissions. That’s the equivalent of 860,000 vehicles taken off the road for a year. For families, there’s a more direct impact.

The Gyapa Improved Cook-Stoves project in Ghana generates emissions reductions through replacement of traditional inefficient charcoal stoves (locally known as “coal-pots”) with improved stoves.

Nov 2, 2020 · The Gyapa cookstove, now produced by Gyapa Enterprises, began as a startup “market-based fuel-efficient cookstove program” funded by U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Shell Foundation, Relief International and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Aug 20, 2019 · The Gyapa offers a safe alternative to traditional cooking methods and the toxic fumes they emit. To date, more than 1.4 million Gyapa stoves have been sold across Ghana, saving an estimated 4.2 million tons of CO2 emissions.

Regarding ICS, two main stove types were popular: Gyapa and Nyonkopa. These stoves use charcoal and firewood, respectively, albeit in a more efficient way. The target beneficiaries are households who use traditional charcoal/firewood stoves for cooking, as well as households who own Gyapa or Nyonkopa but still regularly use their traditional ...

The Gyapa cookstove is made in Ghana, which has one of the highest deforestation rates in the world. It is the cocreation of ClimateCare and Relief International. The liners and claddings are made by local ceramicists and metal workers, providing local employment.

Gyapa stoves minimize the incidence of burns and reduce indoor pollution, leading to a safer and healthier cooking experience. Gyapa buyers save money on fuel, as these cookers are significantly more energy-efficient.

The project is initially focussed on the replacement of traditional charcoal stoves with very low efficiencies (locally known as “coal-pots”) with an improved stove, known as the Gyapa3. The Gyapa differs from the coal-pot by virtue of having a combustion chamber which is heavily insulated with a ceramic liner.

The Gyapa stove is a stove that EnterpriseWorks/VITA (EWV) brought to Ghana with the help of the Shell Foundation and USAID. Local manufacturers were trained to make both the outside metal shells, and the inner ceramic liners.
