We help provide clean environment

We intend to promote an energy efficient and environment friendly fuel-wood stove for household use in the hilly areas of Pakistan administered Kashmir.

The stove has been developed, at the Mechanical Workshop and its testing was performed in the Heat and Mass Transfer Laboratory of Mechanical Engineering Department, MUST, while considering two severe challenges: first there is rising deforestation in hilly areas and the second, there is increasing incidence of the cases of Tuberculosis (TB) and other respiratory diseases overall in Pakistan and particularly in the hilly areas of Kashmir.

Beside many other factors and challenges responsible for this issue, the use of conventional wood stove for cooking and heating at household level is accounted for as a key factor responsible for increasing deforestation and alarmingly challenging situation of the prevalence of TB and other respiratory diseases.

In order to address these serious environmental and health challenges associated with the use of inefficient conventional wood stoves, we want to promote multi-purposed environment friendly smart wood stove which does not only reduce the consumption of fuel but also provides a clean environment at the household level.
