The stoves have improved combustion, reducing household air pollution and the adverse health effects of this. Methane (CH4) has a higher global warming potential than CO 2 , such that 1 tonne of CH 4 is equivalent to 21 tonnes of CO 2 over a 100-year time period. One such project is their efficient cookstoves in Burundi.
