ATEC exists to decarbonise cooking for all households across the Global South with our patented IoT eCook stoves. 4 billion people across Asia & Africa still lack access to modern cooking – generating 1 gigaton of emissions, more than the global airline industry. ATEC’s patented IoT technology means usage data is converted into 100% data-verified carbon credits – a global first for the sector. ATEC is now expanding across Asia & Africa – working with last-mile distributors and net-zero partners to decarbonise cooking at scale.
