50,000 households using low-smoke stoves

The Clean Air Project of Millennium Challenge Account – Energy and Environment Project is working to reduce air pollution of Ulaanbaatar by making buildings more energy efficient, by improving insulation in Ger district homes, and by promoting the use of energy efficient stoves.

So far the clear favorite is Royal Ocean’s “Dul” model. People prefer the “Dul” because it is easy to set up and can be used with a traditional Mongolian cooking pot. But because the “Dul” is not as widely available, long lines often form at stores where it is sold.

The companies have supplied 50,000 stoves to residents of five districts of the capital so far. If a typical household has four or five family members, the project is serving about 200,000 citizens.

Employees of the companies selling the stoves give customers safety advice and lessons on how to use the stoves. They also get feedback from customers who have used the stoves. Therefore, the number of people using the stoves improperly or unsafely is reduced.

Also, the companies are cooperating with state organizations, the Clean Air Project, and the Clean Air Fund to organize a public-awareness campaign to teach people how to use the stoves properly.
