In 2006, Jonathan Cedar and Alec Drummond started tinkering with designs for an efficient, wood-burning camping stove. In 2009 they launched the CampStove, a portable biomass stove that leveraged thermoelectrics to create a smokeless fire while charging personal electronic devices.
Soon after, the co-founders learned that half the planet still cooks on smoky open fires leading to four million premature deaths annually. This moved them to commit to bringing safe, affordable energy to those who needed it most and to introduce the HomeStove, a large format biomass cookstove that cuts fuel consumption in half and reduces toxic emissions by ninety percent, while charging mobile phones and LED lights.
BioLite follows a "parallel innovation" business model, developing core energy technologies that are applicable to both outdoor and emerging markets customers, to bring clean, affordable energy systems to off-grid communities around the world.
