Founded in 2010 by Peter Scott, BURN Manufacturing Co. emerged from a mission to combat deforestation in sub-Saharan Africa with fuel-efficient stoves. After launching its first manufacturing facility in Kenya in 2014, BURN became the only vertically integrated modern cookstove company in the region, producing 400,000 stoves monthly and employing over 2,500 people, half of whom are women.BURN's stoves have shown significant social, financial, and environmental impacts, with a UC Berkeley study indicating that a $40 investment in a Jikokoa stove yields a $1,000 return for society.Looking ahead, BURN plans to expand into Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, DRC, Nigeria, and Ghana, introduce five new products, and boost Kenya's production capacity to 1 million stoves per month. Named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential Companies in 2024, BURN is revolutionizing clean cooking in Africa, empowering 850 million people, and fighting deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions.
