Case Study V: Improved Cook Stoves
Technology Product Details Technology Informatics Design Endeavour (TIDE),
Bengaluru, a CSG working on innovative technological solutions in renewable energy
sector has developed a series of energy efficient stoves to meet the demand for
informal as well as rural sector. R&D, field testing, manufacturer identification,
negotiation of commercial terms and deployment of 4 models of such stoves in 2–4
sizes has reached to three thousand users and technology has been transferred to 4
manufacturing units after a non-disclosure agreement. This translates into saving of
37,008 tons of firewood (Equivalent area of forests saved: 3701 ha), mitigation of
55,512 tons of CO 2 . These interventions have also provided employment for 8760
people. For instance, as compared to conventional stoves, PYRO a multi-purpose
stove has been designed and developed by TIDE in 5 capacities to meet every cooking
requirement for optimum heat utilization and as per users’ convenience (Box 4). The
key scientific principles responsible for increasing the efficiency of PYRO stoves are
increase in combustion efficiency, high generation temperatures and increase in heat
