The U.S. Department of Energy is proposing to provide federal funding to Iolite LLC to advance cookstove development, through the research, development and testing of an independent combustion engine core, with a thermoelectric (TEG) -powered blower, which can be integrated with an existing cookstove. The proposed project seeks to develop an adaptable, thermoelectrically powered, clean combustion engine core that can bring the low emissions and high efficiency of advanced fan stoves to a range of already popular, local cookstove designs.
