Project Overview

Key Activities
  • Cookstove Distribution: Thousands of stoves are distributed to households across Cambodia. Each stove is constructed using high-efficiency designs to ensure better thermal performance and cleaner combustion (learn more about the improved cookstove technology here).
  • Training and Community Engagement: The project includes robust user engagement via its Stove Champion programme, which trains local community members to educate users on correct stove usage, conduct follow-up visits, and monitor sustained adoption. Households receive in-person training on proper use and maintenance.
  • Monitoring and Data Collection: Stove usage is continuously tracked using a combination of Kitchen Performance Tests (KPTs) and Geocene Stove Use Monitors (SUMs). Data is collected through digital survey tools, with built-in validations such as GPS, timestamps, and photos to ensure accuracy and traceability.
  • Digital Infrastructure and Traceability: All field data flows into DISCO, Bridge Carbon’s internal Data Integrity System for Carbon Operations. The platform performs automated quality checks and plans to integrate directly with verifiers, ensuring a secure and transparent chain of custody for all project data.
Project Summary

Cutting emissions, reducing exposure to indoor air pollutants, and decreasing the labour and time burdens associated with traditional stove cooking. The stoves come at zero cost to households, and our advanced digital monitoring systems ensure every carbon impact is real, verified, and scalable.
