Empowering Homes And Businesses With Sustainable Energy
The world's first clean cookstove with built-in IoT — smokeless, cooks 5x faster, and generates up to 50W of electricity for African homes and businesses.
Our Journey Toward A Greener Future
Every day, millions of women across sub-Saharan Africa breathe toxic smoke and walk dangerous distances for firewood. Powerstove was founded to change this - delivering a cleaner, smarter, and safer way to cook that also generates electricity for families with no grid access.
Smokeless Cooking
Eliminates toxic indoor air pollution that kills 4 million people annually — protecting women and children most at risk.
Fuel Independence
Uses locally-produced GoodLife biomass pellets, reducing dependence on charcoal and firewood by up to 70%.
Income Generation
Empowers women as pellet entrepreneurs and clean energy distributors at the heart of a new green economy.

From a single prototype in Abuja to 50,000+ households across Nigeria — our journey is one of relentless innovation, community trust, and a mission to make clean energy accessible to every family.

How Powerstove Works: Planning
To Powering Your Home
Community Consultation
We engage communities to understand their unique cooking habits, energy challenges, and household needs. Through on-the-ground conversations with women, household heads, and local leaders, we identify the right stove size, fuel type, and payment model before recommending any solution.
Real People. Real Power. Real Impact.
