BIOFUEL STOVE
Carbon Development Projects
VTT Gel Fuels is dedicated to providing sustainable, clean, and affordable cooking solutions to households in Sub-Sahara Africa. We introduced the biofuel stoves, which offer numerous health, environmental,and economic benefits compared to traditional cooking methods. We seek funding to expand the production, distribution, and promotion of these stoves, aiming to improve the quality of life for millions while fostering a greener environment. In Southern Africa and Globally, the use of biomass fuels has reached unsustainable levels. It is estimated that three billion people worldwide still use traditional cooking methods that rely on biomass fuels. This reliance on solid fuels is more prevalent in rural areas, where access to modern energy sources like electricity and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is limited. The use of solid fuels is associated with significant health risks due to indoor air pollution and contributes to environmental degradation. With the growing need for sustainable energy solutions, our company, VTT Gel Fuels, aims to provide eco-friendly and cost-effective biofuel stoves to households and small businesses in developing regions. These stoves uses our range of gel fuels, solid fuel tablets, and solid Chafers heating fuels by reducing dependency on traditional fossil fuels and promoting environmental sustainability.
We started manufacturing the Biofuels (chaffing fuel gels) in 2017 and by 2022 we designed our own portable Biofuel cooking stoves . We provide a full solution as the biofuels are manufactured by us, VTT Gel Fuels.
Key advantages include
Lower Upfront Costs and Affordability: Ethanol stoves are significantly cheaper to purchase compared to LPG . This makes them more accessible for low-income rural households without subsidies. VTT ethanol gel fuel is locally produced, reducing reliance on expensive imports . In rural areas with poor infrastructure, LPG distribution can be unreliable due to dependence on centralized supply chains, cylinder refills, and transportation challenges.
- VTT Gel fuel portable Bio-fuel cookstoves help reduce indoor air pollution (caused by smoke, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide), thereby improving health.
- VTT Gel Fuel portable Bio-fuel cookstoves allow women to spend less time on cooking and wood collection, and more time on productive tasks.
- VTT Gel Fuel portable bio-fuel cook stoves provides access to cleaner and fuel-efficient cooking appliances.
Access to such energy solutions enhances productivity and drives inclusive economic growth. Additionally, VTT Gel fuels portable assembly line solutions create numerous local green job opportunities.
VTT Bio-Fuel cookstove can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 5 tons of CO₂ per year, helping combat climate change.
