All nations need a high-energy future to power industrial and commercial development, job creation and economic growth. But small-scale solutions to energy poverty can’t build competitive economies. So the hopes and security of billions are at risk. The Energy for Growth Hub connects the latest research directly with policymaker demand — to fuel prosperity for everyone.
Our Vision:
• No person’s potential is wasted because the power where they live and work is too costly or too unreliable.
• All countries achieve the high-energy future they need to become prosperous, competitive, and climate-resilient.
• Evidence and data drive energy decisions over ideology.
Our Mission:
• Promote energy goals, policies, and metrics aligned with countries’ own development ambitions.
• Advance data-driven solutions by translating research into practical ideas and insights for policymakers.

Emerging Markets:
Half the planet still cooks on indoor open wood fires and the toxic smoke they emit kills nearly 4 million people every year, twice as many as malaria. BioLite has developed an advanced, affordable, clean- burning stove that combines unprecedented emissions reductions with economically valuable electricity generation. The HomeStove™ is capable of reducing indoor smoke by more than 90% while cutting fuel use in half. By providing our largely off-grid customers with the ability to charge cell phones and LED lights, our stoves create economic incentive for purchase and continued use, ensuring sustainable delivery of our health and environmental benefits.
Outdoor Markets:
BioLite has quickly emerged as a leading innovator in the personal energy space. Whether camping in the backcountry or toughing it out during a power outage, our core technologies allow people to cook, charge, and light. Our portfolio now includes the flagship CampStove family products as well as award winning solar, battery, and lighting products for multiple settings. Our products are now sold in over 70 countries worldwide and are found in all major outdoor retailers, including REI, Lowes, Cabelas, Montbell, MEC, and Bass Pro Shops, among others.
