- Inherent variability and uncertainty in biomass stove performance due to the uncontrolled nature of biomass combustion and variations in stove use.
- Lack of high-quality, comparative data to support stove design efforts due to inconsistencies in existing testing protocols.
- Need for robust, reliable, and repeatable testing protocols to gain credibility for clean cookstoves in carbon markets.

Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
Figures are as stated in the company's own report and may use different boundaries, units or methods (for example market-based vs location-based Scope 2), so compare with care.
📈 Emissions by Report Period
| Report period | Headline emissions figure reported |
|---|---|
| 2007-2015 | 17.0M tCO2e (over 5 years) |
Each row is the headline figure extracted from a different report; scope coverage and methodology can change between years.
✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Developed an improved testing protocol (Emissions and Performance Test Protocol) to reduce variability in biomass stove testing, leading to more reliable data for stove design and improvement efforts.
- Reduced test variability by minimizing water vaporization during testing and using fuels with consistent moisture content.
