How do our SSM cookstoves impact the underdeveloped countries?

Our cookstoves especially wood and charcoal stoves are widely used in African countries, this is a powerful example of Beyond Net Zero in action — reducing emissions at scale while delivering real benefits to frontline communities.

Replacing traditional open fires with fuel-efficient cookstoves cuts wood use by over 65-70%, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation.

These cleaner stoves also lower indoor air pollution, improving the health and wellbeing of women and children.

But the impact goes deeper than carbon.

By reducing the time and labour needed to collect firewood, women gain hours back each day — time they can reinvest in education, farming, or small businesses.
