TIDE's Commitment to Clean Cookstoves

Traditional firewood stoves are inefficient. Causing indoor air pollution, they pose a significant health risk, leading to respiratory problems. Partnering with technology institutes, we seek to provide thermal energy solutions that enhance the health and well-being of communities, as well as lead to financial savings. 

Sarala – a smokeless cookstoves is one of our notable achievements. Adapted from a design developed by the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, it is testament to the power of collaboration and co-creation. Consulting the community, the final prototype takes into account the daily lives and the cooking habits of the end users.

We raise awareness about the harmful consequences of inefficient cookstoves by holding extensive training and community meetings. Through demonstrations and testimonials, we encourage families to switch to clean cookstoves.

For Small Scale Businesses

Our innovations include
We provide thermal energy solutions for micro entrepreneurs, institutional cooking needs and for clusters like pottery, piggeries etc.,
Improved stoves designed specifically for rice puff units to streamline the puffing process of rice
Biomass-based dryers for efficiently drying vegetables, fruits, and fishes, coupled with training on standard packaging of the dried products.
Piggery stoves designed for small-scale piggeries for making pig feed.
PYRO brand of fuel - efficient cook stoves such as Pyro Tawa stove for small roadside eateries and Pyro Bakery ovens tailored for small bakeries.

Beyond Dissemination: Empowering Communities:

We do not just disseminate cookstoves. We train local entrepreneurs, especially women in cookstove construction. By doing so, we layer our strategy with the additional dimension of sustainable livelihoods and financial stability.
