What have we done so far in India?


India is Breathing Space's lead country - with a vision to sell five to seven million stoves in seven states in the next five years.

Our other partners

Breathing Space ran two successful pilots in India between 2002 and 2006, working with the NGOs ARTI (Appropriate Rural Technology Institute) and DA (Development Alternatives Group) to sell tens of thousands of improved stoves.

Both organisations were involved in an Indian government-subsidised scheme to tackle IAP. Its long-term success was limited with nearly half of the 11 million stoves handed out between 1996 and 2001 either dismantled or not in use, according to an assessment by the National Council of Applied Economic Research. When that scheme was scaled down in 2002 it left ARTI and DA short of funds to tackle IAP.

Shell Foundation was able to step in to supply funding as well as a plan for a new commercial model and supply network, while making use of DA and ARTI’s knowledge of the issue and established contacts.

How will we do it and who are we working with?

India is the lead country in Breathing Space’s global vision to sell 10 million stoves in five developing countries in five years. This means scaling-up activities in seven Indian states, selling between five million and seven million improved cook stoves.

Each stove installed offsets the carbon footprint of a return flight from London to New York (www.carbonfootprint.com). 

Breathing Space India: Our Partners

Envirofit International

Shell Foundation’s main partner in India is the leading US environmental non-profit Envirofit International, based at Colorado State University. The Foundation is providing Envirofit with $3.5million as part of a plan to raise $25million of investment.

Envirofit is tasked with handling the scale-up and spin off of the programme in India, introducing the first market-based model for clean-burning wood stove technology to the developing world.

Formed in 2003, Envirofit has both the necessary technology skills and proven commercial expertise to do this.

Product development is underway by Envirofit’s technology partner Colorado State University’s Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory.

Meanwhile in India, Envirofit will work with distributors to create rural supply chains, The programme will focus initially on the southern Indian states of Tamil Nadhu and Karnataka.

       
    ...With half the world’s population still cooking on wood, dung and other biomass-burning stoves, the only way we are going to make a significant long-term impact and achieve the scale needed is to get private sector thinking involved. “I am delighted we have signed up Envirofit to do just that. The staff has extensive commercial experience and they have an impressive record implementing global commercial projects....
