a new technology for cooking which runs on plant oil. This new cooker technology
is called PROTOS (www.plantoilcooker.org).

of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility program to help improve the
quality of environment and health in developing countries by using a carbon
neutral fuel for cooking purposes.
A Clean Development Mechanism component is included in this project through the
substitution of kerosene with plant oil.
Our local partners include the
Indonesian Center for Estate Crops Research and Development (under the Ministry
of Agriculture) besides other local potential partners who will look into
100% local production of this product.
Being a part of this project will
enable one to learn from cross cultural partnerships and bottom-of-the-pyramid

project.

field test to improve the product before introducing it to the market. He or she
would also be the main person bridging between the establishment process of the
local production and the engineers in BSH Munich, making this the reason for our
