Transitioning Pellet Stove Production: China to Rwanda

BioMassters Ltd and Mimi Moto aim to develop local assembly capacity and distribution for a built-in gasifier stove model in Rwanda, expected to have tier 4 performance, and with a 20% cost reduction due to reduced transport, import duty, and production costs.   

Outcome and Impact

The project aims to sell 4,000 built-in stoves, resulting in enhanced energy access for 16,000 people. On an annual basis, 36,618 tCO2e will be reduced. In addition, BioMassters Ltd plans to create 13 permanent jobs, with 33% of leadership positions filled by women. Savings on energy-related expenditure is estimated to be EUR 680K.
