Backup by BioLite Is Live! https://lnkd.in/eCubb5Ux Power outages are becoming more common and we all need a way to make our homes more resilient. Many of us can't afford the expensive professional installs and renters are left out entirely. This is why we made Backup. Backup is a new chapter in energy storage for the home, offering in-room automatic solutions that can be installed by the everyday user in under 30 minutes. No rewiring, no contractors, just peace of mind. It's beautiful, but it's designed to disappear in almost any layout. It's automatic, meaning you don't have to lift a finger when the power's out. It's safe, with rigorous testing, certification, and long lifespan. As our VP of Engineering put it "If I wouldn't install it under my son's bed, it's not safe enough for production." Congrats to the entire BioLite team for a major effort, let's go get Backup into homes across America⚡. #energy #battery #energystorage #cleantech #climatetech #kickstarter

About us
ABOUT BIOLITE: BioLite designs, manufactures, and sells innovative consumer energy products for off-grid communities around the world. Based in Dumbo Brooklyn NY, BioLite’s team of talented engineers and business professionals work across two distinct business segments, Outdoor Markets which serves the energy needs of outdoor enthusiasts, primarily in North America, Europe, and Asia, and Emerging Markets which serves the energy needs of rural consumers in developing countries living in energy poverty in East Africa and India. Learn more at BioLiteEnergy.com 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.

This #ClimateWeekNYC we talked #batteries on a Saturday with Emerson Collective and #carbonmarkets on a Tuesday with Acumen. As a social enterprise that champions the belief that product innovation AND financial levers need to work hand in hand to create impact, we could not have imagined a better series of partners and events. Check out highlights below from Acumen's panel with BioLite CEO Jonathan Cedar.
What an incredible conversation! Our #ClimateWeekNYC panel brought together leading voices like Jonathan Cedar, Nicholas Jones, Daniel Sadik, James C., and moderator Amy Cortese, hosted by Amrita Bhandari, to explore the future of carbon markets in underserved communities. Key insights from the discussion included: 🔸 Philanthropy stabilizes carbon markets by absorbing risks and providing a price floor, creating market certainty for commercial buyers and enabling social enterprises to access carbon finance as a reliable revenue stream. 🔸 Addressing pricing volatility, complex standards, and high registry costs is essential to unlocking the potential of carbon finance for social enterprises serving low-income communities. 🔸 Strengthening standards and transparency in carbon crediting processes is crucial for building trust in carbon markets and ensuring real value for both the environment and low-income communities. It’s clear that carbon markets hold immense potential to drive sustainable development, but they need greater accountability to truly benefit low-income communities. Thank you to all our speakers and attendees for joining us for this crucial conversation! BioLite | ImpactAlpha | Shell Foundation | Boomitra | Carbon Solutions Group

Approximately 120,000 households will have safer, cleaner cooking in their homes thanks to this partnership. Thank you AfricaGoGreen Fund and Cygnum Capital for helping us directly improve the lives of families across sub-Saharan Africa while creating positive impact for the entire planet. #ClimateWeekNYC #EnergyEfficiency #CleanCooking #SDGs #CarbonCredits #CarbonMarkets #Impact
The AfricaGoGreen Fund, managed by Cygnum Capital, has agreed to invest USD 5 million to finance the distribution of cookstoves across 10 African countries by BioLite. The investment will result in the distribution of cookstoves to around 120,000 households in #Rwanda #Uganda, #Malawi, #IvoryCoast, #Senegal, #Madagascar, #Nigeria, #DRC, #Zambia and #Mali, resulting in 1.6 million tonnes of avoided emissions and improving indoor air quality over the life of the project. BioLite has been a pioneer in developing #carboncredits from the use of their 'next generation' improved #biomass stoves for nearly a decade, and uses revenues from the sale of credits to make their products more affordable and available to lower income households across sub-Saharan Africa. AfricaGoGreen Fund is designed to support activities that mitigate GHG emissions in Africa, providing debt financing to businesses and projects across the industrial energy efficiency, green building, clean transport and green appliance sectors. Great timing for a new climate transaction with the start of #ClimateWeekNYC #ivorycoast #sustainabledevelopment #inclusivegrowth #africanbusiness #sustainability #ghgreduction #sdgs #energyefficiency #greenindustry https://lnkd.in/eTfvSKXs
