The IMEPS is a new productive stove designed for small-scale food processing enterprises in rural areas in Cambodia.

During the dry season, approximately 8,000 Cambodian farmers and their families rely on additional income-generating activities such as small-scale food processing (palm sugar, noodle, rice wine production), using inefficient productive stoves combined with non-renewable biomass sourcing. Beyond the environmental impact of these unsustainable practices, more and more farmers have to drop these off-season income-generating activities because of the scarcity of firewood and its rising price.

To face these social and environmental challenges, GERES developed the Improved Multi-Energy Productive Stove (IMEPS) which is 30% more efficient (and therefore allows a significant reduction of wood consumption) and can be used with alternative biomass fuels (e.g. rice husk, palm leaves,…) to further reduce or even completely replace the use of wood.
