BURN produces the world’s most fuel-efficient biomass cookstoves, has sold over 1.4 million units to date and has operations or distribution in over 15 African countries. 

Gamos is partnering with BURN Manufacturing to develop, test, and commercially roll-out BURN’s innovative electric cookstoves in four target markets in Africa, with the goal of building a commercially viable distribution model. Once prototypes are manufactured and tested in-house, a distribution pilot will be launched for the roll-out of the electric cooking line to low-income households in urban and peri-urban communities.
