Clean Energy Cook Stoves: A Sustainable Solution to Carbon Emissions

Globally, over 2.8 billion people rely on traditional cookstoves for daily meals, primarily using biomass fuels such as wood, charcoal, and dung. These fuels are often burned in stoves that are inefficient and produce significant amounts of smoke and particulate matter.
