Geo Biochar Stove is a simple system of production of charcoal as well use the heat for cooking. In the process the flaring of the gases takes place, helping in reduction of emissions. Highly suitable for institutional cooking / in schools / hostels, etc. The cooks will also earn while cooking in the form of charcoal as value added product from wood. This is designed by Dr. N. Sai Bhaskar Reddy
