What We Do

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.
