The biomass awards, announced at a ceremony in Beijing on 27 March and part of the Foundations global programme to reduce IAP, were the culmination of an 18 month project aimed at giving relevant companies the incentive to develop new stoves that emit less toxic fumes. Entries were rigorously tested and judged on criteria including thermal performance, flue gas emission, indoor air quality, technological innovation and product quality. The winning manufacturers will now receive help from the China Association of Rural Energy Industry to further develop their designs and eventually mass produce stoves that meet consumer needs, are fuel efficient and have low emissions. The end result should be improved health for millions of Chinese people currently exposed to killer smoke generated by poorly designed cooking and heating equipment. It is hoped the new technology will also be exported to other countries with IAP problems.

Chinese innovation in stove design celebrated at awards ceremony
With almost half a million Chinese people dying prematurely each year because of indoor air pollution created by poorly designed cooking stoves, the prospect of reductions in this alarming figure came a step closer at the end of March 2007 when Shell Foundation, China Association of Rural Energy (CAREI) and University of California, Berkeley honoured nine of the country’s manufacturers and designers with prestigious innovation awards.
