Mukuru Clean Stoves aims to bring cleaner-burning stoves to women in Kenya and Africa as a whole. According to studies, more than 950 million people in sub-Saharan Africa alone rely on heavily polluting wood and charcoal for cooking. This number is estimated to grow to 1.67 billion by 2050.

This must be the 20th article I’ve seen over the years for low-pollution, clean burning stoves for sub-Saharan African countries.

Wood gas stoves, that burn wood and, probably, charcoal and alcohol stoves are, relatively clean and can be made for free from cans.

Larry Winiarski, Technical Director of Aprovecho, began developing the rocket stove in 1980 based on a VITA stove, designed by Sam Baldwin, and rediscovered the principles of the systems developed by the Romans in hypocaust heating and cooking systems.[5][6

Thanks. Sounds high to me, but I’ll take your word for it.

God is always working to promote the growth of the human population, in order finally to reap the full harvest of heaven’s residents.

Nope.

It burns wood, or any other solid fuel but it burns cleaner and with less smoke.

Looks a lot like a smokeless fire pit.

They don’t have the knowhow needed to extract it. That’s why
western advanced technology/ money will be needed to exploit this resource.

She bought a microwave oven at Costco, and they gave her $1.2 million?

That was my thought, probably some variant of a rocket stove.
