Celcius Solar (Scotland), one of our proud members have been chosen as one of 12 finalist out of 1000 entrants for their innovative Jompy Stove.
The Jompy Stove is a lightweight and inexpensive stove-top device that sits between a cooking pot or an open flame to rapidly heat water. Invented by David Osborne, a plumber from Scotland, this incredibly simple technology could save millions who die from drinking contaminated water.
The Jompy is a win-win technology, where householders can cook a meal whilst killing bacteria in dirty water at the same time. Gravity pushes the water through the Jompy, and it even works on simple three stone fires, making it perfect for use in the bush. It’s now also being supplied to outlets in Kenya.
