This solar-powered stove is cutting deaths from indoor air pollution

It cooks food while emitting hardly any smoke. It uses a hybrid system, powered by energy from solar panels and from fuel such as small sticks or crop waste. This is burned at high temperatures in a special chamber, meaning no pollutants. It’s cleaner than an open fire or kerosene stove and because it doesn’t use firewood. The ACE One was created by African Clean Energy which is a part of the World Economic Forum’s Equitable Transition Initiative.
