Mayon Turbo Stove: Design Package

REAP-Canada Would Like to Encourage the Mayon Turbo Stove Technology for Communities Around the World ...

Understanding how the Mayon Turbo Stove has improved living conditions in the southern Philippines, REAP-Canada is facilitating governments, NGOs, manufacturing workshops, and others to market the stove in other nations. We have prepared an International Marketing and Manufacturing Package which includes information on what is needed to manufacture and disseminate the stove at the local level. The package includes general information on the stove, design drawings for manufacture, an instruction manual, brochures, and former case studies, and can be obtained for $200 CDN.

If you are interested in obtaining more information on the Mayon Turbo Stove or are interested in purchasing one of these packages, please contact us by email at info@reap-canada.com or phone at 514-398-7743.

Note: Purchase of this package indicates buyer's acceptance of these terms and all legal liabilities that may arise from possession or manufacture of this product, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, civil liabilities resulting from accidents, and responsibility for proper, safe and conscientious use and production of the Mayon Turbo Stove. REAP-Canada and its employees will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage resulting from use, or careless, improper or unsafe handling or production of the MTS. REAP-Canada retains the rights to the stove and to manage any GHG carbon credits or CDM/JI project potentials generated through the manufacture and distribution of the MTS internationally.

CDM Project Financing Through Potential Sales of Carbon Credits from Household Cookers

REAP-Canada is exploring opportunities to provide the Mayon Turbo Stove technology to rural villagers as a greenhouse gas mitigation strategy under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol. This mechanism drives sustainable community development through emission reductions that generate carbon credits. In this way developing countries can for the first time benefit from proposed emissions trading. The potential exists for carbon credits to be generated through the displacement of fossil fuels and unsustainable biomass with improved biomass cooking technologies. Rural agrarian communities that use the improved cooking technologies stand to benefit from reduced household expenditures, increased soil fertility, forest conservation, and restored watersheds. Women especially are receptive to and in need of improved cooking technologies that will reduce indoor air pollution and ease the burden of searching for fuel-wood.

Analysis of the Greenhouse Gas cycle for the Mayon Turbo Stove shows great potential for the stove to mitigate emissions in developing countries and thus help Canada in meeting its emissions targets. An analysis was conducted for over 200 stove users from rural villages in the southern Philippines. The survey indicated that the MTS displaced the use of conventional fuels such as fuelwood, charcoal, LPG, and kerosene. CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions could be reduced resulting in a total of 488 kg of CO2 equivalents prevented for each stove used. Results of the analysis can be found in the report titled 'Philippines Agricultural Climate Change Project: Conservation and Utilization of Crop Residues as a Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Strategy in the Philippines'.
