About us
ABOUT BIOLITE: BioLite designs, manufactures, and sells innovative consumer energy products for off-grid communities around the world. Based in Dumbo Brooklyn NY, BioLite’s team of talented engineers and business professionals work across two distinct business segments, Outdoor Markets which serves the energy needs of outdoor enthusiasts, primarily in North America, Europe, and Asia, and Emerging Markets which serves the energy needs of rural consumers in developing countries living in energy poverty in East Africa and India. Learn more at BioLiteEnergy.com Emerging Markets: Half the planet still cooks on indoor open wood fires and the toxic smoke they emit kills nearly 4 million people every year, twice as many as malaria. BioLite has developed an advanced, affordable, clean- burning stove that combines unprecedented emissions reductions with economically valuable electricity generation. The HomeStove™ is capable of reducing indoor smoke by more than 90% while cutting fuel use in half. By providing our largely off-grid customers with the ability to charge cell phones and LED lights, our stoves create economic incentive for purchase and continued use, ensuring sustainable delivery of our health and environmental benefits. Outdoor Markets: BioLite has quickly emerged as a leading innovator in the personal energy space. Whether camping in the backcountry or toughing it out during a power outage, our core technologies allow people to cook, charge, and light. Our portfolio now includes the flagship CampStove family products as well as award winning solar, battery, and lighting products for multiple settings. Our products are now sold in over 70 countries worldwide and are found in all major outdoor retailers, including REI, Lowes, Cabelas, Montbell, MEC, and Bass Pro Shops, among others.

Great to see our long-term partner Qotto reaching more than 100,000 new people with clean, affordable energy in Benin in collaboration with Greenwheel
Electrification et Impact : Un succès avec Greenwheel 📣 Nous sommes ravis de vous annoncer notre collaboration avec l'association française Greenwheel, dédiée à la promotion des solutions renouvelables pour l'accès à l'électricité en zone rurale d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Cette semaine, après plus de 2 mois de voyage en Afrique Sub Saharienne, #GreenWheel, nous fait la joie de terminer son périple par le Bénin ! et par Qotto ! Grâce à ce partenariat, nous avons réussi à électrifier 58 foyers qui, dans nos processus habituels, n'auraient pas pu bénéficier des kits solaires Qotto. GreenWheel a réuni les fonds nécessaires et est venu installer les kits avec nous, au cœur des zones rurales, au bénéfice de foyers particulièrement vulnérables. 🔅 Avec ce projet, et grâce à l'équipe de GreenWheel, ce sont près de 350 personnes qui vont rejoindre les 120 000 bénéficiaires de nos solutions solaires d'accès à l'électricité. 💪 Au-delà des chiffres et de l'impact sur les populations rurales, l'accès à l'électricité change la vie de nos clients. 🤗 De même la joie et les expériences partagées avec l’équipe de GreenWheel nous ont toutes et tous enrichi et ont renforcé les liens entre notre équipe Béninoise et de jeunes étudiants venus vivre une aventure utile. Ce projet montre une fois encore que l'accès aux services essentiels est un droit fondamental et un catalyseur de développement. Merci à GreenWheel pour cette collaboration enrichissante qui assure un mieux vivre aux communautés. Ensemble, nous créons un avenir plus lumineux et durable pour tous. 🌟🔆 Qotto, vivez mieux #Qotto #GreenWheel #ÉnergieRenouvelable #ImpactSocial #ÉlectrificationRurale

After several years of manufacturing clean cookstoves, and working with phenomenal distribution partners across the world to reach hundreds of thousands of households, we've learned a thing or two about the barriers to clean cooking adoption. We went about building the best possible stove to overcome these barriers, using the lessons learned along the way. Enter the Jiko Safi, our most cost-efficient, lightweight, and fuel-efficient stove yet. How much charcoal do you think this stove saves users? #CleanCooking #CleanCookstove #CleanCookstoves #Jiko #JikoSafi #IndoorAirPollution #CleanAir #CarbonFinancing https://lnkd.in/gcFFnDhj

Kenya has experienced devastating flooding in the past couple of months, with more than 228 people losing their lives, and 212,000 people losing their homes. Many organizations have been working with communities to provide life-saving relief and material help to support those affected, and BioLite, through the Rotary Club of Karen, has provided clean cookstoves and solar lamps to families in Gataka, Kajiado County, as they strive to rebuild their lives and homes after the impacts of the floods. Thank you to everyone who continues to support the ongoing efforts to help those affected. Lorraine ( LOLAINE) Kirigia LOWAKI ECO-SOLUTIONS LIMITED Rotary International
