Fuel-Efficient Cooking Stove Production Program

Manufacturing and distributing ISO-certified, low-emission household biomass stoves in South Sudan.

The Challenge

Heavy dependence on firewood in South Sudan drives deforestation, health problems, and gender-based violence, as women and girls risk assault while collecting fuel. South Sudan faces serious environmental decline with rapid deforestation since 1990 driven by logging, farming expansion, and heavy reliance on firewood and charcoal. Displaced and low-income households depend most on firewood fuels, increasing pressure on fragile ecosystems.

Our Solution

AECC Africa manufactures and distributes fuel-efficient, low-emission cooking stoves that reduce wood use, improve health, and create local jobs. The AECC Africa Household Biomass (Charcoal) Stove is certified under ISO 19867-1:2018, achieving a thermal efficiency of 38.1%. It holds a Certificate for Household Charcoal Stove from the regional lab in Kampala, Uganda.
