Light Your Home
What we do
The ACE One energy system is an integral energy solution for off-the-grid households in the developing world. The device uses a combination of thermal and electric generation to provide a clean, smokeless cooking experience for its users. The solar-powered electricity it generates can also be used for phone charging and lighting.
PROVIDES ACCESS TO SOLAR ELECTRICITY
The ACE One’s solar-powered battery generates electricity, giving users who ordinarily don’t have electricity access the facility to charge their phones or plug in the LED lamp attachment.
ACCESSIBLE ON FLEXIBLE MICRO-LOAN
The ACE One is sold on a 12-15 month micro-loan. Customers use the energy savings achieved with the product to pay back the investment. This gives people living on $2 a day access to a $120+ product.
REDUCES FUEL NEEDS
The ACE One can burn any type of solid biomass fuel (crop residue, animal waste, or small sticks). This displaces the need for energy-dense harvested wood or charcoal. It also burns fuel more efficiently than traditional open fire stoves and thus uses 50-85% less fuel.
MINIMISES SMOKE EMISSIONS
The ACE One has the cleanest multi-fuel cooking functionality in the world. It minimises smoke emissions to a negligible level to mitigate the negative health effects of Household Air Pollution.
Company's story
Around 2.6 billion people in the world do not have access to modern, clean energy. This restricts them to using open fire cookstoves which emit high levels of smoke, exposing users to Household Air Pollution (HAP). Without access to electricity, these households must resort to buying paraffin and candles for lighting, as well as extra phone charging costs.
HEALTH
Over 4 million people in the developing world die every year from illnesses attributable to HAP. Most of these are women. Diseases related to HAP kill more people every year than AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis combined.
CARBON EMISSIONS
21% of global black carbon emissions come from residential fuel burning, mostly in the developing world.
DEFORESTATION
The unsustainable harvesting of wood is causing massive deforestation, especially in Africa.
Our mission is to eliminate the worst forms of poverty on a platform of clean energy and smartphone technology.
As a certified B-Corp, we commit to reinvesting most of our profits into our social mission.
