Mission

Eneron's mission is to provide innovative solutions enhancing energy efficiency in kitchens to make positive impacts in our life and the environment for the future.

We believe a sustainable future depends on:

1. Our Sense of Responsibility
2. Our Ability to Innovate

We identify the energy efficiency issue associated with the most basic cooking of man kind: a pot over a fire. Besides the improvement that is being achieved by other partners with clean cookstoves, the improvement can also be done on the pot. Eneron undertaking the effort to improve the heat transfer from the fire to the cook pot. By incorporating heat sink technology that is widely used in electronic industry to cookware, we dramatically improve the heat transfer from the flame to the pot. As a result, the use of turbo pot can help improve indoor air quality therefore healthy environment for both developed and developing countries. We like to work with PCIA partners to promote the use of Turbo Pots for the good of the environment.

Our Focus

Primary Initiatives, Target Populations, and Scope of Work:

We look forward to partners interested in using clean cook pots to start some initiatives to help reduce deforestation.

Fuels/Technologies: Biomass
Sectors of Experience: Energy
Small Business
Countries of Operation:

Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas

Social/Cultural barriers to using traditional fuels and stoves:

We can help reduce biomass consumption and reduce deforestation. The turbo pot should work with different traditional fuels and different types of clean stoves.


Market development for improved cooking technologies:

At the moment the turbo pots market is in US for the food service industry. Deploying the turbo pots in several national restaurant chains results in millions of pounds reduction of CO2 emission.


Technology standardization for cooking, heating and ventilation:

To properly evaluate different clean stoves, it seems to me that it needs a standardize fuel to calibrate different type of stoves. In testing of the efficiency of the turbo pots, we worked PG&E foodservice technology center to calibrate and test the efficiency of the turbo pot according the the ASTM Standard methodology for gas range. It is presumably that further development of which can be applied to wood burning stoves. Standardization on testing of heating, emission, ventilation can be important for the success of different clean stove programs.


Indoor air pollution exposure and health monitoring:

We do not have capability of monitoring the indoor pollution, but turbo pot will definitely help to reduce the pollution created by fire stoves.

Our Contribution to the Partnership

At the moment, we have the energy efficient cookware helping the restaurant industry in US to save energy use and reduce emission. It is identified that turbo pot can definitely help in the poor countries where they cook using wood from deforestation. At the moment we are new in the PICA community, we would like to work with partners with the existing distribution channels of clean cookstove to deliver clean cooking pots to the most needed areas.
