BURN made a deal with Trade and Development Bank Group to bring clean cooking stoves to three African countries. The company will deliver cooking appliances to 430,000 homes across Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Zambia. The bank provides both regular loans and special funding based on results through its Trade and Development Fund. World Bank supports this partnership through something called the ASCENT Platform. The program wants to give 300 million people access to electricity before 2030 ends.
BURN makes special cooking stoves that use biomass and smart technology. These stoves cut down harmful gases and stop dangerous air pollution inside homes. Families spend less money on cooking fuel when they use these devices. The stoves create carbon credits that companies can buy and sell. Over 2.1 million people will benefit from cleaner air and better cooking methods.
The project will stop about 3 million tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. BURN started selling clean cooking equipment back during 2011. The company has sold more than 5.4 million stoves to families across Africa. BURN operates factories across Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Malawi. The company helps people cook food without harming the environment.
