Pinoy invents eco-friendly stove powered by rice hulls
The BIOLEXIS stove can save rural domestic households money and doesn't emit any greenhouse gases
A Filipino inventor (Biolexis) believed that there is more to ipa or rice husks other than being a mere good fertilizer additive.
Engineer Alexis Belonio, a native of Nueva Ecija, started to work with rice husks in 2003. At the time, fuel and energy prices all over the globe started to shoot up, impairing oil importers like the Philippines.
Belonio recounted that, aside from the energy crisis then, the use of wood for fuel in the country's rural areas also became alarming as it caused forest denudation.
The rising amount of greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere also became one of his concerns. It made him think of producing low-cost fuel that could help even the poor families in the rural areas.
Belonio said that because liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is costly, domestic cooking is affected, so he thought of designing a stove that uses biomass but works like an LPG cooker.
