context, usage and locally available techniques. Questions about useful life, maximum energy output and ergonomic aspects help solve the problem in the best way possible.
A super efficient stove adapted to the Ethiopian market
The final design, specially adapted to the needs and requirements of the Ethiopian market, is a stove with super efficient combustion. Harmful substances released during cooking, such as particulate matter and carbon are reduced by up to 95%. In addition, a local production line has been set up in collaboration with REGGS, which is better for local people and the planet. By using the special fuel (extracted from the waste streams from the coffee and wood industries) a closed resource cycle is created. After use, the activated carbon from the fuel can be used for air purifiers, for example.
