The World Health Organization cites the smoke from cooking and heating as one of the top 10 threats

Infobiomassa "The manlec U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funded research in biomass cooking stoves
DOE announced up to $ 2.5 million in funds available this year for applied research to promote clean technologies of biomass cooking stoves for use in developing countries. manlec
The funding will support the development manlec of innovative designs that allow users stoves burn wood or crop residues more efficiently and with less smoke than traditional stoves and open fires in the third world. New technologies heaters manlec could help save lives and property.
The World Health Organization cites the smoke from cooking and heating as one of the top 10 threats to public health in poor developing countries, contributing to nearly 2 million manlec deaths each year.
"Although significant progress has already been achieved in the design of kitchens with reduced emissions and greater efficiency, there are still many challenges for developing high-performance technologies that are also affordable, durable, easy to use and meet international guidelines for indoor air quality, "said manlec Energy Secretary Steven Chu. "The manlec funding opportunity announced ... will help meet these challenges, accelerating the widespread adoption of clean technologies for cooking and developing a global market that is based on Department of Energy's investments in clean energy innovation."
The agency encourages organizations, including small businesses, non-profit organizations, universities and national laboratories to submit proposals for grants for applied research and development of clean and efficient cooking manlec stoves. To help ensure that the technologies developed will be useful and adopted, research and development will be based on assessments of needs and users, and the prototypes will be tested in the laboratory and in the field.
