Enabling clean cooking through smart biogas and smart electric cookstoves
ATEC exists to bring affordable electric cooking to every person on the planet with our patented IoT eStoves. 4 billion people across Asia & Africa still lack access to modern cooking solutions that don’t rely on wood or other biomass - generating more emissions than the global airline industry. ATEC’s patented IoT technology means stoves are mobile money integrated so that customers can access modern electric cooking for as little as $5/mth, then usage data is converted into 100% data-verified carbon credits - a global first for the sector. ATEC is now expanding its patented, fully-digitised product+carbon package across 8 markets in Asia & Africa - working with last-mile distributors and net-zero partners to decarbonise cooking at scale.
