History & Development

The Philips Smokeless Fan-Gasifying Stove is a clean solid biomass stove: it meets IWA Tier 3 standards. Inyenyeri has identified potential improvements to achieve IWA Tier 4 Indoor Air Quality Standards - the emissions profile of LPG. They are currently working with several stove manufacturers to make this leap. Manufactured and imported from Lesotho, they optimize airflow, pot rests, and other features at their factory in Gisenyi to achieve increased efficiencies and emissions levels, calibrated to their specific pellet recipe.
