Another big milestone for Simoshi was achieved today, as its first 8,457 certified emission reductions (CERs) or carbon credits have been issued from its registered Clean Development Mechanism and Gold Standard Project Activity “Institutional Improved Cook Stoves for Schools and Institutions in Uganda”. Such reductions of carbon dioxide not released into the atmosphere were made possible as 49 participating schools moved away from their traditional 3-stone fires to energy efficient cooking stoves for the preparation of all of their cooking activities.
