Abstract

Burn Manufacturing is a company that aims to combat deforestation, lower emissions, and reduce soot in Africa by providing affordable electric cookstoves. Around 850 million people in Africa use wood or charcoal for cooking, which is harmful to their health and the environment. Burn has sold over 4.5 million stoves and launched Africa's first carbon-credit futures based on emissions reductions. The company sold forward contracts and call options that represent a ton of carbon dioxide or its equivalent, either removed from the atmosphere or prevented from entering it.
