3 billion people globally use biomass for cooking that burns inefficiently.
It generates smoke and produce emissions that contribute to global warming – carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and soot. Inhaling the smoke leads to respiratory illnesses and death.
According to a report from FOSA, 69% of persons living in Urban areas in Ghana uses Charcoal.
Averagely, the major source of Charcoal production is by use of wood from felling of Trees.
In rural Ghana, firewood is widely used due to invariably no cost associated with it.
Firewood generates smokes and greatly a factor for deforestation.
Again, the labour of collecting firewood consumes hours, especially of women and children , which is dis-empowering, and an unproductive use of time.
It leaves no time for income-generating, or other alternative activities.
LPG which serves as alternative to firewood and charcoal is environmentally unfriendly, expensive and its production line has high carbon footprint.
Our technology is a Solar-Powered induction which works on prepaid basis. With it women and children can concentrate on other stuff rather than setting firewood to burn or depending on lpg which all cause damage to the climate.
