BURN’s Post

BURN participated in the Clean Cooking Dialogue in Kizimkazi, Zanzibar, where we showcased our clean cooking appliances to key stakeholders, including Tanzania’s Deputy Prime Minister, Hon. Dr. Dotto Biteko.  Our Country Manager, John Mtui, took part in a panel discussion where he talked about BURN’s commitment to transitioning Tanzanian households to clean cooking, including our investment in the local assembly of our ECOA Induction Stoves in Kawe.  The ECOA Induction stove reduces carbon emissions by 2-3.5 tonnes annually and utilizes cellular-enabled IoT technology for real-time electricity monitoring. BURN offers “Pay-As-You-Cook" payment plans, making induction cookstoves accessible to low-income households. To date, BURN has brought clean cooking appliances accessible to ~ 200,000 households, with plans to expand this to 10 million households across the country.  

Kenya is embracing BURN’s cellular-enabled IoT induction cookstoves!   The ECOA induction cooker provides a cost-effective and cleaner cooking solution, featuring real-time monitoring of electricity usage and generating high-integrity carbon credits.    The electric cooking appliance comes with stainless steel cookware made in Kenya, which is healthier and more durable than aluminium. The cookware set includes 6L and 8L pots and a cooking pan, all designed specifically for the ECOA induction cookstove.  BURN has distributed ~5 million cooking appliances, reducing ~25 million tonnes of carbon emissions from the atmosphere. #Inductioncookstove #electriccookstoves #electriccooking #Sustainability #ECOA #BURN #CleanCooking #CleanCookinginAfrica #ECOAelectriccookstove #CarbonDoneCorrectly #EnvironmentalSustainability

Over 4 million people die prematurely each year from illnesses related to household air pollution caused by cooking. A recent publication by The Economist highlights that low-income households in Africa are particularly affected due to inadequate funding for clean cooking solutions and gender disparities. BURN is committed to saving lives and forests by distributing affordable, fuel-efficient clean cooking solutions, including electric, biomass, ethanol, and liquid fuel stoves, across ~20 countries in Africa. Through carbon financing, we offer discounts of up to 95% on our clean cooking appliances, reducing carbon emissions by 40% to 65%. BURN’s ECOA induction cooker eliminates carbon emissions entirely, promoting better health and a sustainable environment.  Additionally, our Pay-As-You-Cook payment plan enables low-income households to access these cookstoves, while our cellular-enabled IoT technology allows for real-time monitoring of electricity usage. BURN’s clean cooking initiatives have positively impacted ~24 million lives and prevented ~25 million tonnes of carbon emissions from the atmosphere.
