REASON FOR BEGIN
Abellon’s core purpose is to increase energy
access globally in a sustainable manner.
Energy access is a key driver to create
economic growth and helps people emerge from
poverty into the mainstream economy. This
objective needs to be achieved in a manner that is
environmentally and financially sustainable,
promotes energy independence
and is good for local communities. Abellon’s
mission is to find innovative solutions achieving
all these objectives by combining knowledge from
diverse disciplines and aligning efforts with local
stakeholders.

Pellets – An improved cooking fuel
Pellets are Eco-friendly carbon neutral, Solid
Biofuel.
Pellets are small "nuggets" of compressed
agricultural and forest waste including wood waste.
A wide variety of biomass can be utilized to make
bio-pellets like cornstalks, straw, residual forest
waste, etc.
It is a refined and densified biomass fuel that allows
remarkable consistency and burning efficiency at
substantially lower particulate emissions.
Convenient
Safe No risk of fire hazard
Easy to use
Adjustable in Existing Technology
Easy to USE
Movable & Flexible
Hygienic No smoke pollution
Efficiency 40%
