TLUD micro-gasifier stoves that cut smoke and fuelwood, and turn every meal into biochar.

Overview

YesEarth's clean cooking programme deploys TLUD micro-gasifier stoves that sharply reduce household air pollution and save fuelwood, while generating biochar that is repurposed into agriculture and carbon credit programmes.

Why it matters

One stove, a full climate loop

The same fire that cooks a meal builds soil and stores carbon, so nothing is wasted.

01

Household biomass

Crop residue and farm waste as clean fuel.

02

TLUD stove

High-efficiency gasification, little smoke.

03

Cooking + biochar

A cooked meal and a daily yield of biochar.

04

Soil + carbon

Biochar enriches soil and enters carbon projects.

↺ Biochar returns to the farm that fuelled the stove
50%
Up to half the firewood of a traditional cooking fire
