Investing in a Low Carbon, Healthier Way of Cooking

EcoSafi is on a mission to transform the market for cooking appliances in Kenya, where millions of families still cook using charcoal, firewood or other traditional fuels. EcoSafi is reimagining clean cooking as a utility, giving families access to ultra-clean biomass cookstoves paired with sustainable fuel pellets made from agricultural waste, replacing charcoal entirely. Customers pay only for clean biomass pellets, which cost significantly less than charcoal or LPG while providing hotter, faster and cleaner performance. Clean cookstove users also enjoy improved health by avoiding exposure to smoke from charcoal stoves.

What the project investment will enable

Funds raised through the EcoSafi bond offer will enable the manufacture and distribution of nearly 20,000 high-efficiency clean cookstoves in Kenya, alongside the purchase and distribution of sustainable biomass pellet fuel. The funding also supports essential shipping, in-country logistics and operational delivery, ensuring households can adopt cleaner cooking at scale. 

Over the life of the project, EcoSafi plans to deliver 19,720 clean cookstoves, representing a capital investment of more than £1.2 million. Each stove replaces traditional charcoal or wood cooking with a cleaner, more efficient alternative, with the upfront cost absorbed by EcoSafi and recovered over time through the generation of high-integrity carbon credits. 

The impact is transformative. Households benefit from lower fuel costs and improved health due to reduced indoor air pollution, while the environment benefits from significant carbon emissions reductions and avoided deforestation through reduced demand for charcoal. These verified carbon savings underpin EcoSafi’s climate impact and long-term financial sustainability. 

The project is expected to run at a loss during the bond term, reflecting the time required to generate carbon credits at scale. Bond repayment will be made from a MCFA grant, allowing EcoSafi to focus on delivering long-term social, environmental and climate outcomes.
