Now a new invention promises to improve lives by halving the amount of fuel required and reducing toxic smoke.\u003cbr/\u003eChoking on the fumes 86-year-old Mary Nyambura uses the same cooking technique as her ancestors thousands of years ago.\u003cbr/\u003eThree stone stove cooking is a daily ritual for almost half of the 40 million Kenyas, and many more besides across continental Africa.\u003cbr/\u003eAlthough it has a Boy Scout appeal, the smoke is highly toxic when inhaled over a prolonged period and the World Health Organisation estimates it is responsible for 14,000 deaths every year in Kenya alone.\u003cbr/\u003eBut it's not just bad for the health, it's bad for the purse too. Firewood is an increasingly expensive source of fuel.\u003cbr/\u003eMary Nyambura explains: \"For someone who doesn't have his or her own tree, you have to buy a lot of firewood and that doesn't even last three days because you have to use a lot of firewood so that you can get the fire going, if you put one or two the fire will not start up, they will just make smoke but you will not get any fire. One is forced to put firewood on all sides, after they have smoked for a while, you throw a piece of paper in and the fire starts.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBut a project - backed by the U.N. - is hoping to revolutionise Kenyan cooking.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Paradigm Project is campaigning against traditional fires and is promoting the development of stove technology that burns more efficiently than open fires.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Kenya, the Paradigm Project works with partners to produce modernised stoves like the 'jiko poa' (meaning good stove in Swahili).\u003cbr/\u003eThese stoves claim to use half as much wood as an open fire.\u003cbr/\u003eAt this factory engineer James Irungu is putting the finishing touches to the latest jiko poa off the production line.\u003cbr/\u003eIrungu says: \"The 'jiko poa' is made of three parts, we have the cooker, this is where the pot sits on, inside we have a ceramic liner, its made of clay, this supports the combustion and reduces the firewood usage by more than 50 per cent and this is where we place our firewood, you just place them horizontally, light it the normal way that you would light any other stove, it's portable and quite efficient. It emits less smoke compared to the three stone so its quite advantageous compared to any other type of cooking device or equipment.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThey make about 150 a day, packed and ready for to be transported to various suppliers.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Here we have the final product 'jiko poa' ready to go, we usually make 50 to 150 pieces in a day, so far today we have made 35, by the end of the day we are expecting to have maybe 150 because today the production is quite okay,\" says Irungu.\u003cbr/\u003eThe challenge is that one 'jiko poa' costs 20 US dollars and for most Kenyans living on less than a dollar a day, that's a lot of money.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Paradigm Project hopes to get around this through subsidies and by using carbon credits from developed countries because less firewood is burnt.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The real mechanism that allowed us to start this business are carbon off sets and carbon finance that we get from the off sets because it is hard to scale up a project with half a million stoves to a million stoves over 10 years without some major investment behind that but since these stoves are reducing the amount of wood that is consumed by almost half and the toxic smoke by 50 to 70 percent, we are able to quantify that reduction and actually have that audited by U.N sanctions engineering teams that come in and do, basically like a financial audit but they do it on the stoves so basically they grant us off sets that we can then sell to European and U.S companies who are looking to lower their own carbon footprint.\" says Greg Spencer, Co-founder and director of strategic business development, Paradigm Project.\u003cbr/\u003eExpensive, maybe, but there are already success stories for this clean technology in Kenya. \u003cbr/\u003e79-year-old Lucia Wambui's new stove has put a smile on her face. \u003cbr/\u003eShe faces the arduous task of chopping firewood with an axe - now she has half as much work to do.\u003cbr/\u003eLucia says that it helps her get her food ready more quickly and has been friendly on her pocket.\u003cbr/\u003e\"This stove really makes me happy since the first time I started cooking with it. It makes me happy with the way I am able to cook very fast and it does not smoke and the way that I am saving a lot of money from buying less firewood than I used to before so I am able to use that money to do other things.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAn efficient stove can drastically reduce a family's dependence on collecting or purchasing cooking fuel. As a result, lives are saved, rapid deforestation is slowed, and greenhouse gas emissions are significantly reduced.\u003cbr/\u003eParadigm Project is working towards introducing five million new stoves by 2020.\u003cbr/\u003eAP Television\u003cbr/\u003eThika, Kenya - June 2, 2012\u003cbr/\u003e1.
