Smokeless Cookstoves

This Clean Cookstove Prevents Exposure to Harmful Cooking and Heating Fires

— July 7, 2015 — Art & Design
'Dazin' has designed a clean cookstove that produces 98 percent fewer emissions than traditional open cooking fires. Across the world, nearly three billion people still rely on open fire cooking. The problem with this method of cooking is that the regular exposure to smoke is directly linked to severe health problems.

To combat smoke-related health issues, Dazin designed a smokeless cookstove that is not only cleaner, but also more efficient than open fire cooking. Rather than burning fuelwood, the clean cookstove runs on 'Fuel Cookies.' The Fuel Cookies are made from sustainable waste wood, which has been collected by rural families and brought to the Dazin facility. The Fuel Cookies are essentially clean-burning and produce about 98 percent fewer emissions than traditional open cooking fires.

Dazin is currently testing the use of the smokeless cookstoves in Tsirang, Bhutan and has already seen promising results. The hope is to eventually expand the program and help improve indoor air quality for millions of families across the world.
Trend Themes
1. Clean Energy Cooking - Clean cookstoves that use efficient and sustainable fuels are becoming increasingly popular as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving indoor air quality and health outcomes.
2. Low Emission Heat - Low-emission heating solutions can promote healthier households and reduce the environmental impact of traditional heating methods.
3. Eco-friendly Waste Utilization - Repurposing sustainable waste products as fuel sources for clean energy cooking and heating can reduce waste disposal and promote sustainability of natural resources.
Industry Implications
1. Renewable Energy - Innovative companies in the renewable energy sector can explore opportunities to develop and promote the use of clean cooking stoves and low-emission heating solutions.
2. Sustainable Forestry - The sustainable forestry industry can contribute to the development of clean cooking stoves by providing the necessary raw material for fuel production.
3. Waste Management - Companies involved in waste management can explore the potential for repurposing waste products as fuel sources for clean energy cooking and heating.
