How do clean stoves contribute to environmental goals?

Reduce deforestation

Traditional stoves are inefficient, and about 3 billion people worldwide rely on wood/coal, resulting in the loss of about 37,000 square kilometers of forest each year. Clean stoves increase fuel efficiency by more than 50%, significantly reducing the demand for wood.

Reduce black carbon emissions

Traditional combustion releases 25% of the global black carbon. Clean technology can reduce black carbon emissions by 50%-90%.
