About
Cooking with biomass is associated with low efficiency and smoke causing pollution and poor health conditions. By processing biomass into pellets, the biomass fuel becomes homogenous, low in moisture, 3x denser than wood and easily handled.
When used in an efficient combustion device such as a fan assisted gasifier stove, the fuel burns evenly, with no smoke and uses less than 50% of the fuel because of the high efficiency.
By adapting a strategy of localised biomass pellet production, logistic costs are minimised, local fuel is used and jobs are created. The pellets plants can not only be used for pellet fuel production, but also for animal feeds from agricultural by products and for fertiliser production from animal dung waste mixed with charcoal.
Our gasifier stove is modular and its able to be assembled and serviced within the local market by trained technicians.
