Description:
Purpose:Optimisation of oven technology in order to reduce the consumption of firewood.
Description:Austrian stove fitting technology is actually leading on a global scale and offers futureoriented perspectives in this field. Taking into account the situation of countries like Zimbabwe, where high demand for firewood leads to an annual reduction of forest area by 2%, a research project targeting the optimisation of oven technology has been conducted. Prototypes have been developed, which meet all requirements (cooking, baking, hot water and heat storage), reducing firewood consumption by 75% compared to open fire places and cause much less air pollution. These ovens can be built by local craftswomen. Initiatives for the diffusion of the technology in Africa have been initiated.
Indicate factors that led to project's success:
Technology transferred: Energy effcient technology for wood-fired ovens.
