10,000 Unit Pilot: The Bagmati Climate Action Initiative

Project Overview

The Brand Vision: Leading the Clean Energy Transition in Bagmati

Green Eco Solution (GES) is spearheading the Bagmati Climate Action Initiative, a transformative project designed to deploy 10,000 Portable Induction Cookstoves (PICs) and cookware sets across four districts: Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, and Kavre. This high-impact initiative is a cornerstone of the clean energy transition in Nepal, proving that transitioning households from fossil fuel-based LPG to clean, grid-powered electricity is a high-value asset for Nepal carbon markets.

Investment Pillars: A Blueprint for Nepal Carbon Markets

  • LPG Displacement & Household Health Impacts

    The transition from imported LPG to electric cooking directly addresses the clean energy transition by eliminating indoor air pollution. This displacement leverages Nepal’s hydropower-dominated grid, supporting national energy security and the Just Transition toward a low-carbon economy.

  • Social Equity and Just Transition

    By providing PICs and cookware sets at no cost to the end-user, the project ensures that the benefits of clean energy are available to all, regardless of economic status. This initiative supports a just transition by creating “green jobs” in distribution, maintenance, and training, directly stimulating the local economy in the Bagmati Province.

  • Verified Carbon Integrity & Article 6.2 Alignment

    This project is a mitigation activity developed under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, aligning with the rigorous Gold Standard for the Global Goals. By utilizing smart meters to precisely quantify energy consumed, we generate verifiable outcomes eligible for international transfers within the Nepal carbon markets.

The Bagmati Climate Action Initiative represents a definitive shift in clean energy transition technology, projected to mitigate over 5,460 tCO₂e annually. By institutionalizing LPG displacement through a digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV) framework, we deliver Article 6.2 compliance that de-risks climate finance while accelerating Nepal’s energy independence.
