Gogle Energy Saving Stoves produces improved cookstoves. It also recently started producing charcoal briquettes as a source of fuel, to be sold with the stoves or separately. The products are sold to various users in Ethiopia, including international NGOs via pre-ordering and through its own shops across the country. The enterprise currently produces around 200 improved steel-made cookstoves and 5,000 kg of briquettes a day. It is expanding its operations into neighbouring Somalia.

Eco-Inclusive Impacts
Gogle Energy helps to reduce deforestation and contributes to the shift towards clean energy, while also providing income for local communities.
  • Empowering women’s groups by training them how to produce clay liners and briquettes.
  • Empowering communities by enabling them to avoid the cost of buying firewood.
  • Improving the livelihoods of women in rural areas by reducing their workload and saving them time, enabling them to be involved in other social activities.
  • Significantly improving community health by reducing indoor air pollution from open fires for cooking.
  • Reducing deforestation by enabling the use of alternative fuel sources, such as briquettes made of waste.
  • Reducing GHG emissions by avoiding wasteful use of fuel, thereby ultimately contributing to the mitigation of global warming.

  • Generating annual income of up to USD 1,800 per person.
  • Creating jobs in the production, retailing and distribution of the products – more than 25 people already employed.
