Envirofit’s Clean Cookstove, for use in the developing world, cuts deadly smoke and carbon-monoxide emissions by 80 percent.

The stove’s precisely measured opening lets in the right amount of air for efficient burning. Because of that, it needs only half as much fuel as ordinary stoves or fires.

It can be purchased inexpensively in hundreds of villages in India.

The stove can burn traditional biomass fuels, such as the wood and coconut shells shown here.

The Clean Cookstove is meant to replace traditional open fires, such as those above, which burn fuel incompletely–producing dangerous indoor air pollution.

Developed by Envirofit.org in collaboration with engineers at Colorado State University, the Clean Cookstove was tested in labs to ensure that it reduced emissions.
