University (UNSAAC). Available for consultation in Lima, Microsol office.
Inefficient use of fuel wood is considered one of the important causes of deforestation 5 .
An improved cookstove permits savings in the biomass fuel used because of the
efficiency level (in comparison with a traditional cookstove), therefore it is considered to
have influence on the biomass stock. So, as it is proved that the forests act as a
regulator for the watersheds that provide water, then implementing improved stoves
contributes to water quality and availability.
Yet, NRB calculations for this project do not allow concluding to a significant positive
impact.
