MoFuSS: Managing uncertainty in Cookstoves projects
Earlier this year, we hosted a workshop with the creators of MoFuSS to delve into the intricacies of the model and discuss how it can help to improve the integrity of cookstove projects.
The fraction of non-renewable biomass (fNRB) is site-specific: Estimates depend on local supply-demand dynamics. MoFuSS accounts for woodfuel transport from supply zones to demand centres, offering spatially explicit results grounded in observed biomass trends.
Improved accuracy and integrity: Compared to older methods that often overestimate deforestation from woodfuel use, MoFuSS minimises overcrediting, while enabling developers to model project-specific boundaries and improve granularity.
Estimations of fNRB will always have uncertainties: MoFuSS is built to address uncertainties and can provide robust, representative values for project developers.
