Energy Is Essential
Energy sits at the center of our lives, keeping us safe, productive, and comfortable. Energy improves health, combats climate change, enables communication and education, generates income, and empowers women. Creating access for a growing world population has become one of the biggest opportunities of our time.
Nearly half the planet lacks clean, affordable household energy, cooking meals on smoky open fires and having little or no electricity in their homes.
At BioLite, we develop breakthrough technologies and deliver them through a market-based approach, empowering people to power themselves.
We focus on technologies in 3 areas:
- Cook
- Charge
- Light

PROBLEM
Indoor Cooking Fires
3 billion people cook on smokey open wood fires
4 million people die annual from these fires - that's more than AIDS, TB and malaria combined.
Women spend 10 hours per week collecting fuel.
Cooking fires emit more smoke into the atmosphere than all the cars and trucks in the world, combined.
SOLUTION

The BioLite HomeStove burns wood as cleanly as gas
The HomeStove reduces particulate matter and carbon emissions by up to 90%.
Requires 50% less fuel than a conventional open fire.

PROBLEM
Access to Electricity
2.3 billion people across the world have unreliable or no access to electricity.
550 million mobile phone users live off-grid and often travel long distances and pay high fees for charging.
SOLUTION
The BioLite HomeStove
The HomeStove converts heat from the fire into usable electricity giving owners an instant power outlet.
The BioLite HomeStove produces 2 watts of free usable electricity, enough mobile phones and LED lights.

PROBLEM
Expensive, Inefficient Lighting
Off-grid households spend over $38b annually on dirty, expensive lighting such as kerosene.
A basic kerosene lamp emits only 0.6% of the recommended illumination for studying and 0.3% for a living area.
SOLUTION
The BioLite NanoGrid
The BioLite NanoGrid offers multi-room lighting in a single hub and can be recharged by the HomeStove.
The BioLite NanoGrid emits 2000% more lumens than kerosene and offers directional task lighting for studying, cooking, and other activities.
