The Spark+ Africa Fund has provided $3.5m in carbon project financing to Mauritian subsidiary of TASC that will distribute 90k clean cookstoves to rural Zambian households that cannot afford efficient cookstoves. The stove distribution will create “several million tons” of emissions reductions via inclusion in the firm’s existing Gold Standard Programme of Activities. Stoves will be supplied by BURN Manufacturing, which produces biomass, electric and LPG cookstoves to improve health and reduce pollution. Spark+ previously invested in BURN via a quasi-equity instrument. TASC CEO Alick McIntosh said the project would have a “significant impact” on many Zambians.
