Our Impact
Over 2.3 billion people around the world depend on food cooked over polluting open fires or inefficient stoves. Air pollution is the leading environmental health risk globally. Traditional mud stoves and three stone fires are inefficient, require the use of a blowpipe and emit a lot of smoke that damages human health and the environment.
Greenway stoves reduce emissions and personal exposure thereby lowering the burden of disease associated with household air pollution.
How Greenway Stoves Work
Our stoves have a combustion chamber made from steel, with an opening to put fuel in. The chamber is surrounded by an aluminium shell.
During cooking, the fuel is combusted in 2 stages. The primary stage is where traditional mud stoves stop. After this stage, the burnt smoke contains a lot of unburnt particles and gases (which are responsible for harming us and the environment).
Greenway stoves enable cleaner cooking by combusting these unburnt particles during the secondary stage. This secondary combustion is achieved by our patented air flow technology.
Here are a few different ways our stoves improve daily lives.
Using a traditional mud stove for an hour is equivalent to smoking 20 cigarettes, with skin, eye and other irritations. By providing a cleaner cooking experience, our stoves drastically reduce this risk
Since our stoves are 65% more efficient than traditional mud stoves, less fuel is used and less smoke is emitted, minimising damage to the environment.
Rural women (who are usually in-charge of cooking and stockpiling fuel) no longer have to use the blowpipe while cooking, which alone drastically improves quality of life.
Apart from delivering excellent value to customers, our products positively impact the environment and drive social change across rural communities.
Daily Impact
Firewood is the most commonly used biomass fuel. When local communities rely on firewood for daily cooking, a lot of trees are felled, which upsets the surrounding ecosystem. Traditional mud stoves also require a large amount of firewood, which leads to higher carbon emissions that hurt the global ecosystem.
Our stoves require 65% less fuel. This increase in efficiency has a significant impact on both immediate communities and the local ecosystem. Communities use lesser firewood, meaning lesser trees are felled. Similarly, reduced emissions lead to healthier communities in the short term, while minimising environmental damage in the long term.
And by freeing up time for rural women (which they would otherwise spend stockpiling fuel), we’re driving a larger social change, towards a more equal society.
Our social and environmental impact help progress several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as set by the United Nations.

Our Impact
Nearly 1/3 of the world’s population still use biomass fuels to cook food everyday. While biomass fuels are partially renewable, the cooking experience often leaves a lot to be desired. Traditional mud stoves and three stone fires are inefficient, require the use of a blowpipe and emit a lot of smoke that damages human health and the environment.
Before we elaborate on the impact of our stoves, it’s important to understand how they work.
