The National Council on Climate Change (NCCC), in collaboration with Atmosfair and Climate Sustainability firm, have announced the launch of a ‘Save80 Clean Cookstoves’ that would reduce indiscriminate felling of trees for firewood, global warming and protect users from lung cancer.

Dr. Salisu Dahiru, the Director General of the Council, who made this known while unveiling the Save80 Clean Cookstoves in Katsina, said that the initiative will tackle the widespread challenge of global warming, climate change and deforestation in the state.

Dahiru, who was represented by Mr. Kingsley Nwahuba, a Director in the council, said that the clean cookstoves initiative have a serious impact in curbing deforestation and ameliorate the effects of climate change.

He said: “The council is in charge of policies that have to do with climate change related activities in the country. Specifically, in the areas of renewable energy, decarbonization of the industries, efficient household appliances.

“Deforestation causes global warming by cutting down trees in our environment. The Save80 Clean Cookstoves have a serious impact in curbing deforestation. It gives us a good environment and ameliorates the effects of climate change.”

Earlier, the Manager for Business Development of Atmosfair and Climate Sustainability, Musa Lawal, said the firm invented the Save80 Clean Cookstoves to address global warming.

He said the company in partnership with the government focuses on reducing the emission of carbon dioxide which is one of the greenhouse gases that causes global warming.

“We are working with governments and private sector to reduce the menace. The stove has two pots, emit less smoke and save firewood by 80 per cent, which means saving desertification by 80 per cent,” he said.
