Innovative Solutions for a Sustainable Future

At Third Pole, we distribute energy-efficient stoves that not only cook faster, saving time for women and girls, but also reduce the need for wood collection. This helps preserve local forests and allows families to save money otherwise spent on purchasing wood.

Energy-Efficient Stoves

Our stoves provide a cleaner, more efficient cooking solution that reduces emissions, saves time, and cuts costs for fuel.

Target Market

We focus on high-altitude regions in Northern Pakistan, with plans to expand across South and Central Asia.

Innovative Solutions for a Sustainable Future

At Third Pole, we provide cutting-edge energy-efficient stoves and other sustainable energy solutions designed to combat climate change, reduce deforestation, and improve indoor air quality. Our products are tailored to meet the unique needs of high-altitude communities, where traditional energy sources often lead to significant environmental and health issues.

Energy-Efficient Stoves

In addition to stoves, we offer a range of solutions powered by renewable energy sources, including hydropower. These innovations help communities reduce their environmental footprint and enhance their quality of life.

Sustainable Energy Solutions

Our stoves use advanced technology to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency, providing a cleaner and more economical alternative to traditional biomass stoves.

Target Market

Our initial focus is on high-altitude regions in Northern Pakistan, where approximately 240 million people face severe environmental and economic challenges. As we grow, we plan to expand our reach across South and Central Asia, addressing the needs of similar communities throughout the region.

Our Impact

Environmental Impacts

Through decreased demand for firewood and protection of local ecosystems

Reduce CO2 Emissions

By cutting down on the use of traditional biomass fuels.

Conserve Forests and Natural Habitats

Through decreased demand for firewood and protection of local ecosystems.

Social Impacts

Our energy-efficient cookstoves, powered by hydropower, are designed to deliver significant environmental benefits:

Reduce CO2 Emissions

By cutting down on the use of traditional biomass fuels.

Conserve Forests and Natural Habitats

Through decreased demand for firewood and protection of local ecosystems.

Environmental Impacts

Reduce CO2 Emissions:

By decreasing reliance on traditional biomass fuels, we lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, helping mitigate climate change.

Conserve Forests and Natural Habitats:

By reducing the demand for firewood, we protect local ecosystems, preserve forests, and maintain biodiversity.

Decrease Deforestation:

The project reduces deforestation by promoting sustainable energy use, which protects tree cover and prevents soil erosion.

Social Impacts

Health Improvements:

Using clean cookstoves reduces indoor air pollution, leading to better respiratory health and overall well-being for families, especially women and children.

Job Creation, Distribution, Monitoring, and Maintenance:

The project generates jobs in the distribution, monitoring, and maintenance of clean cookstoves, ensuring proper usage, contributing to long-term sustainability, and boosting local economic development.

Empowerment and Community Development:

By involving local communities in sustainable practices, we promote long-term social progress and improve livelihoods.

Nearly 4 million people die annually from indoor air pollution caused by cooking with polluting fuels, releasing harmful pollutants that exceed WHO standards by up to 100 times in poorly ventilated homes. The need for cleaner solutions is urgent.

United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)

Nearly 4 million die yearly from cooking with polluting fuels, with women and children most affected—45% of pneumonia deaths in children under 5 are linked to household air pollution. This highlights the urgent need for cleaner solutions.

World Economic Forum

Climate change is a major threat to much of the developing world and needs to be looked at with great care.I have been more than worried—I say sincerely— about situations where everybody, the local population, have known for decades that they are living at high risk, and nothing was done about it.
