Burn
BURN is working to create a world where cooking positively impacts all life on earth by producing the world’s most efficient biomass, liquid fuel, and electric cookstoves
About Burn
BURN Manufacturing is a Kenya-based company that designs and manufactures clean-burning cookstoves. The company primarily serves the mass market in sub-Saharan Africa, with its products sold in 13 countries across the continent.
The company's business model is intrinsically linked to the carbon credit market. By manufacturing and distributing cookstoves that are more efficient and less polluting than traditional methods, BURN generates carbon credits. These credits are then sold on the international market, providing a revenue stream that allows the company to subsidize the cost of its stoves, making them more affordable for low-income households. This approach not only facilitates the company's growth but also contributes to a reduction in carbon emissions.
BURN offers a range of cooking solutions, including biomass and electric stoves, designed to be both high-quality and life-improving. The company has recently secured $5 million in funding to expand its operations and further the distribution of its clean cookstoves across Africa.
