The Department of Chemistry Laboratories from the University of Nairobi conducted the approved simulation of the cooking process, the Water Boiling Tests (WBT). The tests showed above average values for the measures of:

• How efficiently a stove uses fuel to heat water in a cooking pot.
• Quantity of emissions produced while cooking.

The Partnership on Women’s Entrepreneurship in Renewables (wPOWER), under their “Where are the women in the energy sector” series, developed a case study on a project undertaken by BURN Stoves which explores the gender distribution in their production. wPOWER stated the key findings on BURN Stoves’s good manufacturing and distribution performance as:

• Policy: Providing a conducive working environment promotes women’s participation in the manufacturing industry.
• Education: Gender disparity in technical and skilled jobs needs to be addressed in order to advance the employment of women in different areas of manufacturing.
• Coaching and mentorship is vital in encouraging initiative and confidence in women employees.

The safety concerns associated with the usage of wood-burning cookstoves are primarily related with carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide emissions.

Another significant safety concern is domestic accidents such as accidental burning or spill-overs.
