Project Title: Protecting local environment and promoting sustainable livelihoods for farmers in Cu Khoi guava cultivation area through the application of advance high-efficiency biomass gasifiers and the Product-Service System.

Time: July 2016 to June 2017

Budget: 25,000 USD

Partners: Center for Creativity and Sustainability Study and Consultancy (CCS);  Viet Lien Co., Ltd.; Cu Khoi Agriculture Cooperative; and Long Bien District Government.

Location: Cu Khoi village, Long Bien District, Ha Noi.

Objectives: Showcase the feasibility and up-scalability of adopting biomass gasification cookstoves and changing waste disposal activities of guava farmers in Cu Khoi.

Main activities:

  1. To study and assess the cooking needs and biomass from guava that can be converted into fuel using biomass gasification technology.
  2. Introductory seminar on the program in Cu Khoi.
