SPITFIRE: Self-Powered Biomass Stove For Remote Communities 

Partners: European Thermodynamics Limited (Lead), Emerging Cooking Solutions (Zambia) Limited, Emerging Cooking Solutions Sweden Ab, Zemission Ab

Country: Zambia

Technology: Modern cooking

Stage: Mid

Stage: 9

The SPITFIRE stove will address both the need for clean cooking solutions and the lack of access to electricity. This will be achieved by developing an affordable, low-emission, biomass-pellet-burning clean cookstove that generates a no-added-fuel electricity surplus.

The SPITFIRE project ultimately aims to deliver a final stove design, assemble 30 demonstrator products, and validate stove performance in field trials within institutional kitchens in public services and local enterprises such as restaurants, schools, and orphanages, in our primary target market, Zambia.
