Activity Description: Mirte Stoves have been specially designed for the production of injera (household bread), a staple food in Ethiopia. The Mirte Stove reduces energy consumption by 50% and eliminates the smoke emitted inside the house when Ethiopian families bake injera. By late 2000, over 90,000 Mirte stoves had been sold in Addis Ababa and a number of smaller urban and rural areas, leading to wood savings of over 45,000 tons each year, and an estimated cumulative woody biomass savings of over 80,000 tons.
