Powerstove have developed a smokeless, biomass cookstove that generates electricity to charge phones or power LED bulbs using the built-in USB and DC port, and uses pellets (wood waste), enabling users to save 70 per cent on their energy costs.

Powerstove provides cleaner, more efficient cookstoves and bio-fuels to women while also giving them income-generation opportunities as business owners and entrepreneurs at the center of the clean cookstoves value chain. Increased access to Powerstove clean cookstoves can reduce the health and safety issues caused by household air pollution and decrease the time women spend collecting cooking fuel. Women can then reallocate this time to educational, income-generating, and leisure activities. The proprietary Powerstove built-in IoT technology will then help track (in real time), quantify and monetize the carbon offsets generated by the project and reinvest the funds in other community.
