This alcohol stove is better than a kerosene stove in every way. No one in my family has eye irritation. I am satisfied with the heat output, and it cooks faster. The CleanCook stove makes no smoke and does not darken pots. —Mrs. Egede, Nigeria Overview
Safety. The CleanCook stove was considered to be far safer than all traditional biomass stoves, kerosene stoves, and even LPG (liquid propane gas) stoves by a large majority of participants. In the Nigeria and South Africa studies denatured methanol fuel was used. Both methanol and denatured alcohol were determined to be safer than wood fuels, kerosene, and LPG in all study locations. Cooking with wood is a lot of work. The alcohol stove is easier to use. I have back problems from when I was younger and had to collect wood to cook. IÌm afraid to change the LPG tank. But I have no fear of filling the tanks on the CleanCook stove. My daughter uses the CC, too. It is faster than LPG. The CleanCook would make it nice to be able to buy alcohol in small amounts, because I do not always have the money available for LPG when the LPG tank empties. —Laurinda, Salinas, Minas Gerais, Brazil With the exception of a minor accident in Brazil, no accidents occurred while using the CleanCook stove with ethanol and methanol. During the pilot studies, participants experienced more than 150,000 total stove-use days without incident. The accident in the Brazil study occurred when window curtains blew across an untended stove that had failed to extinguish properly. The curtain fire was quickly extinguished. The malfunctioning stove was returned to the lab, inspected, and the experience used to improve the design of the stove regulator that extinguishes the flame. Fuels and stoves replaced. The CleanCook stove replaced kerosene stoves in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) and in three Delta State communities in Nigeria by nearly 100%. The CleanCook replaced traditional charcoal stoves used in Addis Ababa by about 50%. The stove has been wonderful; in fact, we don’t have the problem of kerosene fumes anymore. The heat output is fine; in fact I have put my kerosene stove aside already as you can see. It is faster than the kerosene stove; it also cooks without getting your food burnt. It cooks clean and doesn’t stain your pots and there is no smoke at all. My pots are now always clean. It has saved me so much money on the use of scouring powder, which I was using to remove soot stains from my pots when I was using the kerosene stove. You can see my pile of clean pots in the shelf behind you. —E.A., Warri, Delta State, Nigeria The use of wood as a cooking fuel was greatly reduced at all pilot sites where wood was in use. In Shimelba Refugee Camp (Ethiopia) wood use was reduced by approximately 50% and in Kebribeyah Refugee Camp (Ethiopia) by almost 100%. The difference was due to the fact that the CleanCook served well for cooking in pots and for making small Injera (bread) in Kebribeyah but could not cook the large Injera preferred in Shimelba. Used alone, the CleanCook stove frequently met all cooking needs of the household and thus matched or exceeded the performance and output of various combinations of stoves in households where multiple stoves were in use. In Brazil, participants cited safety, fuel efficiency, and economy as the main reasons they preferred the CleanCook stove with ethanol over their LPG stove. While the CleanCook stove was in the home, participants used their LPG stove little or not at all. Cooking time saved. When considering the time needed to collect fuel wood, ignite the wood and maintain the fire, the CleanCook stove saved hours of the woman’s time. Controlled cooking tests and study participant feedback showed that the CleanCook stove cooked faster than both kerosene wick stoves and LPG stoves. I no longer gather fuelwood since I received the CleanCook stove. When I gathered wood, I was very tired. I had to walk very far. I left in the morning and returned at 3 p.m. I gathered wood for five or six hours. With the wood stove, I had eye irritation. Now I can sit close to the CleanCook stove without problems. —Hali, Somali refugee, Kebribeyah camp, Ethiopia Time-saving benefits were greatest in the refugee camps, where wood gathering creates a heavy burden on women. With time saved from gathering fuel and cooking, most CleanCook stove users said they had time to pursue other activities—child-rearing, income generation, literacy classes, and going to the health clinic, to name just a few. It saves me time and allows me to be involved in different activities within my home. Because it has two burners, it helps me to prepare more than one food at a time. This alone allows me to be involved in various income-generating activities outside the home. For example, I do laundry outside of the home as a means of earning money. I also spend this extra time caring for my two children. —Almaz, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Willingness to pay for fuel. Study participants in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) said they would be willing to pay for ethanol at or slightly above the market price of kerosene because they felt the CleanCook stove was more efficient and cleaner burning. However, since the pilot study the price of kerosene has increased twice, from 3 to 4.12 birr per liter and in early 2008 to 5.72 birr (about 53¢ US), making ethanol even more attractive as a kerosene substitute. Before I used wood for cooking. Look at my ceiling! It is black from burning wood. I had eye irritation, back pain, and coughing from the wood. Now I do not use wood. I have no eye irritation and I can sit beside the CleanCook stove. I have no coughing with the CleanCook stove. Now I rest with the CleanCook because I do not have to collect wood. And it is faster cooking with the CleanCook stove. —Amina, Somali refugee, Kebribeyah camp, Ethiopia In Nigeria, every household responded that it would cook with methanol over kerosene because methanol is cleaner burning and because the CleanCook stove cooks faster than kerosene. Kerosene prices have risen sharply in Nigeria, causing people to fall back on wood fuel. Pilot study surveys showed that households would be willing to pay at least 35¢ US per liter for methanol. (Since these data were generated, fuel prices have continued to climb. Kerosene now ranges in price from 65¢ to more than $1 US.) In Brazil, many families said they would be willing to pay for ethanol at or above the comparable unit price of LPG because they would be able to purchase smaller quantities of ethanol more frequently—even daily—with money from their pocket. They also said they would buy the ethanol because the CleanCook stove cooked faster than their LPG stove. Study participants from lower-income households told us that it was difficult to purchase a 13kg LPG canister (good for 20 to 30 days of cooking) because of the high cost for this quantity of fuel. Before, I used a lot of firewood, and now with the CleanCook stove I have more time to do other things. The CC is much faster than the LPG stove. My kids and some neighbors come to my house to use the CleanCook because it’s faster for everyone, especially rice and coffee. —Elza, Dom Orione, Betim, Minas Gerais, Brazil Lessons learned. We learned that even the poorest consumers who have used only solid fuels for cooking can adapt quickly to an improved stove. Even for women from very traditional backgrounds, such as the Kunama in Shimelba Camp or some of the Somali and Sudanese in Kebribeyah and Bonga camps, the “learning curve” was very flat. Regardless of experience, all cooks readily adapted to the CleanCook—quicky learning to conserve fuel by turning the regulator down, for example. Nowhere did we find any reluctance to leave behind the inconvenience of the three-stone stove, provided the improved CleanCook could perform the desired cooking task. Before I used the China kerosene stove and charcoal stoves. I used the former one [kerosene] because it was fast, and I preferred the charcoal stove when I prepare coffee because it is slow. But now I use the CleanCook Stove for both because I can make it cook fast and adjust it to cook slowly. So I like the CleanCook because it substitutes the previous stoves that I used before. —Getenesh, Addis Ababa An important purpose of the pilot studies was to learn how to adapt the prototype test stove to these new users. The pilot studies rigorously tested the stove. In most households the CleanCook became the primary stove, used three, four, or more hours each day, often for heavy cooking (large pots and long hours on high heat). Also, in all three pilot study locations, we learned that study families shared their CleanCook stove with neighbors. I prefer cooking with the CleanCook stove because it is safer than LPG and just as fast. We mostly cooked with wood before, but now my husband has stopped collecting wood. —Morilia, Barrio Santo Antonio, Salinas, Minas Gerais, Brazil We learned valuable lessons about how to improve the stoveÛto polish sharp edges, to place handles on the stove so that it could easily be carried or turned over for refueling, and to make the stove more durable. We learned that the pot supports, which double as wind arrestors to shelter the flame, were preventing oxygen from reaching the flame to achieve complete combustion. An additional problem was too much heat reflected back onto the body of the stove. As a result, we sent the stove back to the Dometic lab for redesign of the pot support, with remarkable success. Better air circulation at the top of the flame resulted in much reduced carbon monoxide production (achieving the WHO standard of less than 2% carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide in the flue gas) and less heating of the stove body. Pilot Study Results: Brazil
Dom Orione, Minas Gerais. Betim is a principal city of Minas Gerais state, and is considered to have the second largest economy of the state behind the state capital, Minas Gerais. . . . Twenty eight families participated in the study. The majority of families live off of what they produce on their land. Near 45% of the residents have retirement income, and if we add in the number of people that receive a pension or government assistance, that number goes up to 57%. (2007; in Portuguese and English; 72kb). . . Read report Salinas, Minas Gerais. Salinas is located in the northern region of Minas Gerais state, in the semi-arid Valley of Jequitinhonha, well known as an area of poverty. Salinas is referred to as one of the interior cities for commercial and health services. Many families make a living from producing cachaça, a Brazilian liquor of high alcohol content. . . . Barrio Santo Antonio is a poor urban community of Salinas located about 2km from the city center. From the community, 38 families and one day care center were selected to participate in the study. (2007; in Portuguese and English; 88kb). . . Read report Results of CleanCook Stove Pilot Study in Minas Gerais State. The pilot phase of Project Gaia Brazil began in July 2005 with the following immediate objectives: (1) to install Clean Cook ethanol stoves in 100 households throughout Minas Gerais state and (2) to assess user acceptance of the stove and fuel in rural and urban households by measuring perceived and actual stove/fuel safety, ease of use, convenience, appearance, cleanliness, and overall performance in fuel consumption economics. Long-term objectives included (1) understanding the feasibility of rural, community-based cooperatives or associations in manufacturing and supplying ethanol to fuel the stoves through the use of microdistilleries, and (2) evaluating the stove’s potential impact on local cutting of wood for cooking fuel and in reduction of indoor air pollution. (2007; 244kb). . . Read report Marlene’s Story. Despite her difficult life, Marlene Vieira Santos, age 38, is an enterprising woman. A resident of the small city of Curral de Dentro, Marlene endured domestic violence throughout her 15-year marriage. During that time, she was dependent on her husband’s income. She waited until her children were grown before leaving him, knowing that she would not be able to care for them economically. . . . After arriving in Salinas, Marlene became a trash collector, separating things to sell—plastic, iron, glass—from the trash dump located 14km from her house. Many times she went to the landfill on foot because it was difficult to hitch a ride on the garbage trucks. During her walk she would collect firewood for cooking.

James Murren and Cheryl O’Brien of the Stokes Consulting Group (SCG) landed in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais on 10 June 2006 and were met by Regina Couto, Project Gaia Brazil Director, and Erica Morais, Financial Manager of Banco do Povo, a regional NGO and Project Gaia’s facilitating partner on the ground. . . . Murren and O’Brien explained the general expectations of the next two weeks: (1) visiting homes using the CleanCook stove in the three pilot study sites of Salinas, Dom Orione and Ponte Nova to make an initial assessment, (2) reviewing project expenses and setting the remaining budget, (3) establishing an easy-to-use database, and (4) assessing other project needs, challenges and successes. Following is a day-by-day account of the trip. (2006; 228kb). . . Read report House Visits in Salinas, Dom Orione, and Ponte Nova, Minas Gerais. James Murren and Cheryl O’Brien of the Stokes Consulting Group visited Minas Gerais, site of Project Gaia’s 100 CleanCook (CC) stove Brazilian pilot study. To determine user reaction to the stove, they visited families in their homes in Salinas, Dom Orione, and Ponte Nova with Project Gaia Brazil Director Regina Couto. . . . Thirty-two narratives (from homes and one child care center) and campground interviews were collected from 90 locations that are using the CC stove in Minas Gerais. The following is a detailed account of the narratives and campground feedback. (2006; 228kb). . . Read report Testing Consumer Acceptance of and Business Opportunities for the CleanCook Ethanol Stove in Minas Gerais. Approximately 8.6 million woodstoves are used by rural and urban marginal families in Brazil, accounting for 17.4% of national household energy consumption. In Minas Gerais state, almost half of total household energy consumption is based on fuelwood, while in the poorest regions of the state, as in the Jequitinhonha valley where the study will be conducted, fuelwood use reaches 82.3% of total household energy demand, with over one half of households relying exclusively on fuelwood and an additional one quarter relying on fuelwood with some LPG use. . . . To evaluate this fuelwood dependency and its related impacts on indoor air quality, and to present a household energy alternative, Project Gaia Brazil will implement an ethanol fuel and stove pilot study in the state of Minas Gerais (southeastern Brazil) with the placement of ethanol fuel and 100 alcohol-burning stoves in one or two municipalities covering a cross-section of rural and urban households. Baseline studies investigating existing household energy use will be conducted, and will be placed vis a vis alcohol fuel use data attained throughout the pilot study to determine outcomes related to energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and fuelwood-harvesting, to name a few. (2006; 228kb). . . Read report Location of Pilot Studies. The capital of Minas Gerais state is Belo Horizonte, location of Banco do Povo headquarters. Pilot studies are located in Betim, Salinas, and Ponte Nova, in three distinct regions of Minas Gerais State. (108kb). . . See map Pilot Study Results: Ethiopia Bonga Camp Indoor Air Pollution (AP) Monitoring Summary for CleanCook Stove. For a three-month period Gaia collaborated with UNHCR (United Nations High Commission for Refugees) and ARRA (Administration of Refugee and Returnee Affairs) in a pilot study to test the CleanCook stove at Bonga Refugee Camp in the Ethiopian Regional State of Gambella. Twenty stoves were tested during this time period. Each participant was given a two-burner CleanCook stove and 10 liters of ethanol for a 10-day period. . . . The purpose of this pilot study was to test the impact of the CleanCook stove and to take IAP samples from the participating households. (2007; 44kb). . . Read report Bonga UNHCR Resettlement Camp Narrative Survey Report. Project Gaia carried out a three-month pilot study in Bonga (Sudanese) refugee camp for a three-month period in 20 households. Participants were to use a two-burner CC stove and received 10 liters of free ethanol for 10 days. Gaia monitored of the indoor air pollution (IAP) and conducted a narrative survey. IAP monitoring was done in 12 homes. Six households were monitored immediately after the introduction of CleanCook stove and the remaining six were monitored at the completion of the three-month pilot. . . . In order to assess the impact of the CC stove on the camp households, narrative surveys were conducted at the end of the three months in five households. (2007; 172kb). . . Read report User Responses to CleanCook Stove Safety, Fuel Consumption, and Efficiency. Over an 18-month period, 409 households representing lower, middle, and higher income groups across all 10 of Addis Ababa’s sub-cities participated in a pilot study conducted by Gaia Association (GA) to determine user acceptance of the new ethanol-fueled CleanCook (CC) stove. CC stoves were used in each home for three months. During bi-weekly surveys, GA staff asked participants about stove efficiency, ethanol fuel efficiency, comparisons to other stoves and fuels, and inquired about willingness to pay per liter of ethanol, willingness to pay for the stove, and satisfaction with the stove. Data analyzed here account for 2096 bi-weekly surveys conducted during the pilot study. (2006; 244kb). . . Read report Profile of Carbon Monoxide (CO) Gains Achieved in Kerebeyah Refugee Homes.

One of the refugee camps that was selected by the Gaia Association (GA) for a three-month pilot study, including an Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) Monitoring Study, was the Bonga Resettlement Camp for Sudanese refugees, located 738km southwest of Addis Ababa. GA placed 20 CC stoves in 20 homes for three-months, and delivered free ethanol to each household for the duration. The pilot study included an indoor air pollution before-and-after study in 12 of the participating households. (2006; 44kb). . . Read report Impact of Ethanol Use with CleanCook Stoves in Kebribeyah Camp. Established in 1991, Kebribeyah holds more than 16,000 Somali refugees representing various clans. Refugees get assistance from the WFP, mainly food items, and most other amenities from the UNHCR. Project Gaia supplied 300 CleanCook stoves with ethanol in collaboration with the UNHCR for refugees in the camp. The project secured about 300,000 liters of ethanol form Finchaa Sugar Factory for further supply of ethanol to the camp residents. (2006; 220kb). . . Read report Former Fuelwood Carriers Pilot Study Report. As part of its study of the efficacy of the ethanol-fueled CleanCook (CC) stove, the Gaia Association is distributing stoves to various Addis Ababa institutions, such as the Former Fuelwood Carriers Association (FFWCA). . . . Gaia Association conducted a monthlong pilot study in FFWCA with a liter of free ethanol per day supplied to each stove. Because of their awareness about fuels and their experience with providing wood fuels, Gaia felt that the FFWCA’s perception of the CC stove and ethanol fuel could be significant. (2006; 376kb). . . Read report Preparing for Scale-up of Stoves and Ethanol at the Kebrebeyah. In 2005, Project Gaia introduced 130 CleanCook (CC) stoves to UNHCR Kebrebeyah refugee camp for a three-month pilot study. Stoves were placed in homes in the camp and the selected households were supplied with one 10-liter Gerry can of ethanol every 10 days during the study. . . . The outcome of this initial study was extremely favorable, with data showing that use of the stove greatly reduced the need for fuelwood—up to 100% in some cases. This has had a far-reaching impact on the lives of refugee women and their families, as well as on the surrounding environment. . . . Moreover, use of the CC stove has removed the smoke from refugeesÌ homes and resulted in a vast improvement in the quality of indoor air and household health. (2006; 128kb). . . Read report Impact of the Ethanol-fueled CleanCook Stove on Traditional Cooking Fuels. Late in 2004, Project Gaia embarked on an 18-month pilot study investigating the marketability and consumer acceptance of the CleanCook (CC) stove and ethanol fuel. Never before used as a kitchen energy fuel in Addis Ababa, liquid ethanol was made available through an agreement with the state-owned Finchaa Sugar Company, one of four manufacturers in EthiopiaÌs emerging sugar industry. With funding from the Shell Foundation’s Sustainable Energy Program, 850 CC stoves were purchased from Dometic, a Swedish company and world leader in alcohol appliances, to be used and tested throughout the country, with 500 stoves marked for Addis Ababa, and the remaining 350 in institutional settings, including UNHCR refugee camps. (2006; 272kb). . . Read report Ethanol-fueled Household Energy Initiative at Shimelba Camp. In June 2005, Project Gaia and UNHCR embarked on a household energy initiative to investigate whether the alcohol-fueled CleanCook (CC) stove, powered with ethanol supplied by Finchaa Sugar Company, could provide a solution to growing concerns over scarce fuelwood resources in the area of Shimelba Camp, Tigray. Use of fuelwood increased resource conflict between local residents and camp residents and led to poor respiratory health among refugees as a result of the unhealthy indoor air created by wood-burning fires. . . . Staff returned to the camp in December to assess the decrease in fuelwood collection. Findings showed a reduction of at least 42% in the amount of fuelwood collected by refugees prior to the introduction of the CC stove. (2006; 284kb). . . Read report Ethanol-fueled CleanCook Stove Pilot Study in Somali Regional State. On a flight from Addis Ababa, Project Gaia (PG) director Harry Stokes met Dick Young, an independent filmmaker and founder of The Denan Project, a U. S. nongovernmental organization (NGO). As a result of their conversation, Stokes decided to place 50 ethanol-fueled CleanCook (CC) stoves in Denan under the direction of the Ogaden Welfare and Development Association (OWDA). . . . Project Gaia Ethiopia director Melat Esayas and staff visited Denan to assess the feasibility of running the stove study in the Internally Displaced Peoples (IDP) camp on the edge of town. After visiting the camp, OWDA and PG agreed that, owing to the lack of food in the camp, placement of cook stove would be insensitive to more immediate needs, and the team decided to conduct the study in town rather than in the camp. (2006; 580kb). . . Read report Missionaries of Charity Institutional Narratives. Missionaries of Charity (MC), an international religious congregation founded by Mother Teresa, is widely regarded as being one of the most effective and efficient institutions in the world in targeting and distributing food aid to the most vulnerable members of society. . . . The Gaia Association placed CleanCook (CC) stoves in two MC facilities: the orphanage at Asko and the hospice near Sidist Kilo. The purpose was to introduce the CC stove and ethanol fuel to the sisters and workers, with the thought that the stoves could be used in the dormitories where safety and air quality are a must and where noninstitutional-sized stoves could be used for such daily tasks as warming bottles for infants and making small meals. The sisters also indicated an interest in the stoves for personal cooking in their residences so that they could avoid the use of wood, charcoal, and wick kerosene stoves. (2005; 84kb). . . Read report Kebrebeyah Camp Narratives. Established in 1991, the UNHCR Kebrebeyah Camp holds approximately 10,000 Somali refugees representing various clans. The outer walls of their housing primarily consist of roots and the upper parts of a tree to make an upside-down U-shaped hut; there is mud on the bottom half of the interior walls and the exterior walls are covered by old clothes and blankets. Some households have a small kitchen separate from their sleeping quarters; most families cook and sleep in one hut. (2005; 544kb). . . Read report Household Demand for Fuel Ethanol in Addis Ababa. In August 2004, Project Gaia launched a pilot study in Addis Ababa to test an alcohol stove and fuel system well known in the Scandinavian countries but new to Ethiopia. Five hundred households from 10 different subcities in Addis were selected to participate. . . . This report examines the potential market for ethanol in Addis Ababa using data derived from the weekly and bi-weekly surveys conducted in Addis Ketema subcity, where 45 stoves were deployed in April 2005. (2005; 444kb). . . Read report Shimelba UNHCR Camp Narratives of CleanCook Stove Use. In August 2005, Project Gaia (PG) staff Cheryl O’Brien and James Murren flew to Shire, northern Ethiopia, for a two-day field assignment of collecting firsthand insight into the use of the CleanCook (CC) stove by Eritrean refugees living in the UNHCR Shimelba camp. . . . The purpose of collecting the narratives was to assess CC stove use and its effects on the lives of the refugees, using a qualitative approach to accompany the quantitative surveys already being used by Project Gaia in the camp, with the aim of providing a more personal understanding of the impact of the CleanCook stove on the daily lives of its users. (2005; 232kb). . . Read report Shimelba UNHCR Camp Baseline Analysis. In the Shimelba camp, 108 households were selected as part of Project Gaia’s CleanCook Stove Pilot Study. Household selection was based on the following criteria: mud block houses, households’ participation in the seed planting activities, and the ethnic composition (approximately 40 Kunamas and 60 Eritreans as per the percentage of ethnic composition in the camp). Of the 108 selected households, 99 households (58 Tigrayan, 38 Kunama, and 3 Saho) participated in the baseline survey, which surveys each householdÌs primary food preparer. This progress report is based on the information gathered from the baseline survey of the 99 participating households. (2005; 124kb). . . Read report Testing 100 Stoves in the Shimelba UNHCR Camp.
