Energy Is Essential
Energy sits at the center of our lives, keeping us safe, productive, and comfortable. Energy improves health, combats climate change, enables communication and education, generates income, and empowers women. Creating access for a growing world population has become one of the biggest opportunities of our time.

Nearly half the planet lacks clean, affordable household energy, cooking meals on smoky open fires and having little or no electricity in their homes.

At BioLite, we develop breakthrough technologies and deliver them through a market-based approach, empowering people to power themselves.

PROBLEM Indoor Cooking Fires 3 billion people cook on smokey open wood fires 4 million people die annual from these fires - that's more than AIDS, TB and malaria combined. Women spend 10 hours per week collecting fuel. Cooking fires emit more smoke into the atmosphere than all the cars and trucks in the world, combined.

SOLUTION The BioLite HomeStove The BioLite HomeStove burns wood as cleanly as gas The HomeStove reduces particulate matter and carbon emissions by up to 90%. Requires 50% less fuel than a conventional open fire. BioLite combustion technology cuts CO2e emissions by 2.5 tons a year
