[Stoves] Sustainable Stove Enterprises

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Tom

I think there are a few.

Malawi has one making mostly institutional Rocket Stoves that are sold
mostly to WFP (does that count?).

The Ugandan producer (sorry to have not noted his name nearby) is making
scads of money by selling at a commercial price and collecting CO2 money
that is more than the selling price. Nice product. Have pics. I do not know
who the buyers are though.

The Parasafe Stove is I think at the commercially viable level. Some are
sold with a subsidy and other are not. Sales are doing well I hear.

The Vesto sells at a viable level. I don't think it would stand on its own
as a single product. It is part of a range of products. The customers are in
the 'unsupported' class about half the time I would guess. Quite a number
are given to child-headed households.

How about Samson's concrete stove in Ethiopia? I thought that was doing
really well.

Just a few...
