Common Concerns Addressed by Grassroots
Innovators
5
Alternative Fuels
In addition, 20 entries suggested to solve
existing problems of kerosene lit stoves.
Out of the four entries preferring biomass,
suggested agri-waste, Dry-leaves, Barks and Pine
needles. There were clear concern amongst
innovators for cleaner environment . They
recommended alternative fuels for a variety of
reason i.e. prevent deforestation, save forests
from wildfire, recycling of waste etc.

Macro-Analysis of Market

• Downtrend in usage of Kerosene-lit stoves/ovens
  due to following reasons
• Continuous rise in the price of the Kerosene
  (currently between Rs.20-23)
• Declining availability of kerosene
• Subsidized Kerosene (Rate Rs.10 per liter) being
  black-marketed, resulting in artificial-price-hiki
  ng for ludicrous purposes
• Increasing availability and affordability of
  substitutes i.e. LPG
• Discomfort Unsafe nature of Kerosene based
  stoves vis-à-vis LPG
• Extremely price sensitive market due to
  low-disposable income

10
Macro-Analysis of Marketcontd.

• Due to all above factor following trends have
  emerged
• Out of 11 units in Ahmedabad, only two are
  operational
• Declining profitability for all in value chain
  i.e. dealers manufacturers (e.g. Rs. 10-17 on
  one piece of stove for retailers)
• Low incentives for dealers encourages them to
  push other products
• Low entry barriers resulted in flooding the
  market with local, cheap product range ( cheap in
  price and quality as well)
• Minimal sale for ISI certified products due to
  high price (Rs. 400), and they are literally
  non-existent in market.
• Hence, only products with low-pricing are
  surviving. Therefore recommended price bracket
  for new entrant is Rs. 120-225 for two liter
  model. A challenge for value addition function of
  GIAN NIF.

Slides of Some of the Innovations are as follows
14
An Improved Kerosene Stove
Niranjan Prasad Sharma

• Preheated kerosene in gaseous state is fed into
  the burner.
• Consumes 25 less kerosene.
  
• Free from smoke, soot and sound.
  
• Removes drudgery of cleaning the soot filled
  cooking vessels.
• Favorable test results obtained from Indian
  Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun on efficiency
  and safety in operation.

15
Improved Stove
Sameerul Hasan Liaquati

• Eliminates need to pump air.
  
• Eliminates need for regular cleaning of the
  burner pores containing carbon deposits.
  
  
• Cost is almost same as conventional stove (Rs
  300/-)
• Even handicapped people, children women can
  operate it due to less efforts and time required.
• Favorable test results obtained from Indian
  Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun.

16
Kerogas Stove
Sarfuddin Amanuddin Kazi

• Preheated kerosene in gaseous state is used as
  fuel.
• Different in construction as compared to other
  pre-heated kerosene stoves.
  
  
• No soot at the bottom of vessel due to blue
  flame. This also eliminates blackening of
  vessels.
  
• Cost is Rs. 1,000.
  
• Being smokeless, its use reduces pollution and
  various health hazards.

17
Multi utility fuel efficient stove
Mr. S. J. Joe

• High fuel efficiency (14 hrs in 1 liters as
  compared to 7 hrs for conventional ones).
• Have built in water jacket to tap heat lost on
  side for heating water.
• Smoke free and safe.
• Stoves available in one or multiple burners

18
Kerosene Stove with Gravity feed fuel tank
cylinder wick
Mr. Mathew V. Mathew

• A smokeless, odorless and soundless without
  chance of explosion
• No external pressure required as gravity
  facilitate the flow of fuel and vacuum created
  through fuel consumption results in the opening
  of the valve and fuel flow.
• Consist of a burner with gravity feed tank and
  cylindrical wick for reducing fuel consumption.

19
Fuel efficient hybrid stove based on kerosene and
water
Vyasji Mishra

• Modification of conventional high pressure
  cooking stoves.
• Kerosene and water (stored in tanks) are used in
  succession to light the stove.
• Water claimed to be reducing temperature around
  flame whereby enhances combustion eficiency
  
• Saves kerosene
• Tested at Indian Institute of Petroleum,
  Dehradun, for favorable results.

20
Steam Operated Stove
Mr. Rajiv Aggrawal

• The heat energy is improved almost by four times
  with the reduction in fuel consumption upto 40
• Minimized air pollution to almost negligible.
• Process involves passing steam and air through
  red hot carbon to form water gas and producer gas
  with high caloric values.
• Non polluting Low cost (about Rs. 350
• High Heat generation (about 40000 calories)
