Clean cooking changes lives.
How a hydrogen flame contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
How HyCooker contributes
No smoke or soot indoors, reducing exposure to household air pollution.
Less time collecting firewood and less smoke exposure for women and girls, who do most cooking.
A clean cooking fuel made from local renewable electricity.
Local manufacturing, assembly, maintenance and hydrogen supply create jobs.
New hydrogen end-use technology and local production capacity.
Cleaner air and safer kitchens in homes and community facilities.
Zero CO₂ at the point of use, replacing fossil gas, charcoal and wood.
No firewood or charcoal needed, reducing pressure on forests.
When hydrogen is combusted, water vapour is the principal combustion product at the appliance. Overall environmental benefit depends on how the hydrogen is produced and on the wider energy and supply chain. We do not claim zero emissions for the full system.

A just energy transition
Large hydrogen projects are being planned in regions where many people still cook on wood and charcoal. We believe those communities should benefit first. HyCooker puts local hydrogen into local kitchens, with local manufacturing, training and jobs, so that no one is left behind in the energy transition.
Training & safety
Every rollout comes with training for users and technicians, so people can cook, maintain and service HyCooker safely and with confidence.
