Right now, three billion people worldwide are cooking on open fires, or using dirty and dangerous fuel. This has a huge impact on health, with an estimated 4 million people dying from indoor cooksmoke each year*. This is more than HIV/AIDS and Malaria combined and is a problem that is widely unknown and entirely preventable. The majority of the people affected are women and children living in developing countries who die prematurely from illness caused by excessive smoke inhalation.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. African Clean Energy has developed the ACE 1 Ultra-Clean Biomass Cookstove, which burns fuel cleanly to make mealtimes a smoke-free zone. It requires around 70% less fuel than traditional cooking methods so it saves money and time, and it can also be solar charged - making it a sustainable source of energy. Plus it features a USB and DC port to charge devices so it can also function as a nano-grid! Our aim is to bring the ACE 1 into homes all across the world to positively impact health, the environment, and to combat poverty on a global scale.
