Exposure to Household Air Pollution (HAP) from burning wood, charcoal, coal and kerosene is a leading risk factor for diseases, including childhood pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder,  ischemic

heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer, and is a factor in over 4 Million deaths a year.

​

Our goal as a Company is to be instrumental in helping to

reduce the number of people dying from illnesses attributable

to household air pollution, caused by cooking with these

biomass fuels .

​

To that end we have, after a great deal of research and

development, introduced the Simi Stove, a complete rethink

of the clean cooking stove.

​

Just modernising stoves to emit less pollution is only going to add to the cost of the stove. To truly eliminate

household pollution we need to start using clean "Smokeless" fuels such as Ethanol. These fuels, however, do not burn like biomass fuels and therefore, if we are to keep stoves affordable for a mass market, it is important to design the stove in conjunction with these new fuels.

HAP is  also responsible for 25% of the GLOBAL black carbon emissions - the second largest contributor to climate change after carbon dioxide. To see the effect Simi Stove can have on climate change click here

Around 3 Billion people still cook and heat their homes using open fires and simple stoves burning biomass (wood, animal dung and crop waste) and coal.

Our patented Simi Stove, which is engineered to keep manufacturing costs to a minimum, has been specifically designed  to burn clean cooking fuels, such as Ethanol and Methanol, extremely efficiently (see Chatham House report) and we truly believe that it can contribute and play an integral role in reducing this form of household pollution and save many lives in the process.
