The company aims to empower rural households globally with an efficient, safer, cleaner and healthier cooking solution. Under the brand name ‘Agneeka', the company will manufacture and deploy improved cookstoves in a phased manner starting with villages in India and spreading across remote locations in other countries.

The company said that each improved cookstove provided by EKI is 30% more efficient than traditional mud/three-stone fire cookstoves and enables a 45-55% reduction in the consumption of firewood as fuel.

Pankaj Pandey, head of community-based projects, EKI Energy Services (EKIESL) said, "We, at EKI, have a deep focus on community upliftment and aim to empower rural households globally with improved cookstoves while enabling strong climate action. We promise to continue enhancing our sustainability services, benefitting a larger section of society and expand our area of operations with a target to reach remote locations in other countries too. The aim is to steer the planet to net-zero while empowering communities."

GHG Reductions Technologies was established earlier this year as a subsidiary for strengthening the backward integration of the carbon credit supply chain and for the end-to-end management of the green cooking initiative starting from manufacturing to the distribution of the improved cookstoves.

EKI Energy Services is a carbon credit developer & supplier across the globe. EKI offers sustainable solutions for climate change and carbon offsets with global standards like CDM, VCS, Gold Standard, GCC, IREC, TIGR and others.
