Microfinance for Clean Energy

What the project does.

This programme supports low-income households in Mongolia by improving access to cleaner and more energy-efficient heating technologies through microfinance. The initiative helps households and microentrepreneurs invest in efficient stoves and heating systems that reduce fuel consumption while improving indoor comfort and air quality.

Designed to address barriers such as upfront cost, limited access to finance, and lack of clean energy awareness, the programme works with local microfinance institutions and clean energy suppliers to expand the distribution of efficient heating solutions across Mongolia. Carbon finance helps support education, training, product access, and long-term programme sustainability.

By reducing the amount of fuel required for household heating, the programme contributes to lower greenhouse gas emissions while supporting healthier living conditions and reduced energy expenditure for participating communities.

Improved household heating efficiency, reduced fuel expenditure, cleaner indoor air, and expanded access to clean energy technologies for low-income households
