Excerpts from the interview

Q: How does BURN’s business model integrate with carbon finance for clean cooking?

A: BURN operates under a business model focused on manufacturing high-quality cook stoves. They offer a range of stoves, including wood stoves, biomass stoves, and soon-to-be-launched electric stoves. The company’s core belief is that low-income families deserve access to top-notch stoves. By actively participating in voluntary carbon markets, BURN is able to generate subsidies for their stoves, enabling them to reach a much larger audience. A notable achievement for BURN is the distribution of their 3,000,000th stove, highlighting the scale of their impact. The stoves are offered at significantly reduced prices, ranging from three to five US dollars, representing a substantial 95% discount compared to the retail price. BURN’s commitment to producing high-quality stoves combined with its integration with carbon finance demonstrates its dedication to both environmental sustainability and improving the lives of low-income families.
