Clean Cookstoves

Traditional biomass-based cooking methods (e.g., open fires and inefficient stoves) are a major source of deforestation, indoor air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Prime-Field work with local partners in Nigeria and Senegal to customise clean cookstove technologies, adapted to local energy needs of rural women and peri-urban markets. Our programs promote the manufacture and distribution of locally adapted clean cookstoves to households and institutions, reducing reliance on unsustainable fuel sources.
