IRS990/Desc0In 2015, the organization continued its work in Sudan, distributing and selling over3,000 high-efficiency, wood-burning cookstoves to women in the Darfur Region of thecountry. These cookstoves use the fuel, emit the smoke & cook twice as fast astraditional methods, helping to mitigate the death and disease attributed to cookingover open fires. Over 70% of stoves were sold, at a subsidized rate, as part of theorganizations efforts to work towards greater community impact and financialsustainability. In addition to stove sales, during the 2015 year the organization signed a partnership agreement with a carbon offset project developer to set up a project to sell carbon credits generated from the use of the stoves in Sudan. This project plans to offer carbon credits on the voluntary market, under the Gold Standard certification, during 2016. Any revenue from the sale of the credits will go directly into supporting future program efforts in Sudan and beyond.During 2015 the organization completed its market trial of stoves in Ethiopia, working closely with researchers to monitor and evaluate stove usage as well as demographic characteristics of stove users. Upon completion of the marketing trial, the organization decided to not move forward with further sales in this market due to low ability to pay and the presence of numerous competitors and alternative cooking options at the household level.Finally, upon completion of over a year of market research and on-the-ground sales trials in a number of markets, Potential Energy launched a new program in Kampala, Uganda, hired a Managing Director and recruited a team of local operations staff. This program is focused on the lease and sale of high efficiency biomass stoves paired with fuel sales. The fuels currently on offer are carbonized briquettes and briquettes that are made from organic waste, thus enabling the customer to purchase alternatives to charcoal and wood. The program is in its infancy, and served a few dozen customers during the final months of 2015.
