Greenium CleanTech
Solar-powered cookstoves for rural households, and training that teaches women to make briquettes for home use or sale.
Where Greenium Eco began.
Cooking over open fires exposes women and children to smoke every day, and buying or gathering firewood takes money and time. Greenium CleanTech gives rural households cleaner ways to cook.
We provide solar-powered cookstoves, and we train women to make their own briquettes from crop residues. Both come with hands-on guidance.
What we offer.
Solar-powered cookstoves
AvailableBiomass cookstoves with a fan powered by a small solar panel. The fan pushes air into the fire so fuel burns more completely, with less smoke.
Briquette-making training
AvailableWomen learn to turn rice husks, groundnut shells, maize stalks and sawdust into briquettes, to cook with at home or sell for income.
Cooking with less smoke and less fuel.
AvailableOur cookstoves are built for rural households that cook every day on wood or charcoal. A small solar panel powers a fan in the base of the stove. The fan feeds air to the fire, so fuel burns hotter and more completely, and less smoke reaches the women and children in the kitchen.
The stoves burn wood or briquettes, and the fan switches on and off at the front panel.
Every stove comes with training on correct use and maintenance.

Training women to make fuel from crop residues.
AvailableLoose crop residues burn quickly and unevenly, so on their own they make a poor cooking fuel. Compressing them into dense briquettes gives a fuel that is easier to store and transport and burns more steadily.
We train women to make briquettes from rice husks, groundnut shells, maize stalks and sawdust that would otherwise be burned in the open or left to rot. They use the briquettes to cook at home instead of buying firewood or charcoal, or sell them for extra income.
Training comes with every product.
Sessions cover clean stove use, briquette making and reducing firewood and charcoal use. Women leave able to make briquettes for their own homes or to sell.
