Bela, are you familiar with Ecosafi? Disclosure: they're a portco, but they're truly awesome and making a huge impact on this area by delivering a better-performing fuel system that also happens to be clean and safe for indoor use. https://www.ecosafi.com/

Super cool. And looks like keeps local jobs on the fuel side. Something I was wondering - how easy is it to scale something like this across borders? My guess would be that that the cultural things around style of cooking would shift between regions, but maybe neighbouring countries would be more similar?

Yes! Similar dynamics and needs regionally. The company launched initially in Kenya, and is already live in Uganda, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia (~just shy of 200M in population combined).

Thanks, Robert. Definitely in favour of much more nuclear. Although maybe a bit heavy bore for the challenges of home cooking...
