Knowledge fuels change - Support energypedia!
For over 10 years, energypedia has been connecting energy experts around the world — helping them share knowledge, learn from each other, and accelerate the global energy transition.
Today, we ask for your support to keep this platform free and accessible to all.
Even a small contribution makes a big difference! If just 10–20% of our 60,000+ monthly visitors donated the equivalent of a cup of coffee — €5 — Energypedia would be fully funded for a whole year.
Is the knowledge you’ve gained through Energypedia this year worth €5 or more?
Your donation keeps the platform running, helps us create new knowledge products, and contributes directly to achieving SDG 7.
Thank you for your support, your donation, big or small, truly matters!

BSH, protos the plantoilstove
The University Hohenheim (Germany), in cooperation with BSH Bosch and Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH, developed protos the plantoilcooker http://www.plantoilcooker.com. The basic idea was to develop a cooker that uses a clean burning renewable liquid fuel that can be produced locally.
Since the end of 2004, protos has been undergoing field testing in the Philippines together with Leyte State University (now renamed Visayas State University). And from April 2006, protos has been introduced to the broader public with commercial market availability on the islands of Leyte and Samar in the Philippines. Mid 2008 the local manufacturer had the capacity to deliver up to 1500 units per year to these islands. BSH is working to expand availability with pilot projects in planning, underway or concluded in Bolivia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, and in Tanzania where it is supported by GTZ. A recently developed ‘second generation’ of protos plantoilstove technology is said to increase efficiency, reducing noise, cleaning time and the cost of production. The stove was laboratory tested by the independent Aprovecho Research Center in Oregon USA for safety, efficiency and emissions. As a result of the testing the protos was generally labelled as clean-burning, efficient and one of the safest cooking stoves available.
Whether this project will develop into a commercial success remains to be seen. The continuous supply of cheap plant oil and the user acceptance is one of the major challenges.
