Heifer China is promoting the solar stoves mainly in the sunny and mountainous northwestern part of the country in Qinghai Province, an ecologically delicate region where many of the continent’s largest rivers originate. “There it is very dry with plenty of sunshine,” said Fan Bo, communication and networking officer for Heifer China. With so much sunshine, solar stoves can boil a kettle of water in about 20 to 30 minutes. Still, the Heifer China staff thinks solar stoves are a solution worth pursuing. "It saves energy, and it saves trees," Fan Bo said.

abstract	Heifer China is promoting the solar stoves mainly in the sunny and mountainous northwestern part of the country in Qinghai Province, an ecologically delicate region where many of the continent’s largest rivers originate. “There it is very dry with plenty of sunshine,” said Fan Bo, communication and networking officer for Heifer China. With so much sunshine, solar stoves can boil a kettle of water in about 20 to 30 minutes. It’s lucky the weather in Qinghai Province works so well for solar cook stoves because the environment in this high region on the Tibetan Plateau can hardly withstand more pollution caused by smoke and the production of electricity, Fan Bo said. “The environment is very fragile, it’s very weak,” he said. “Once it's damaged it is not easy to recover.” Solar stoves are lightweight and easy to transport, which make them ideal for Heifer project partners with nomadic lifestyles. Solar cook stoves are growing in popularity, but there are drawbacks. Cooking can be done only during daylight, and buying a solar stove can be a major expense for families with limited means. Also, because the technology is so different from traditional cooking methods, it takes some getting used to. Still, the Heifer China staff thinks solar stoves are a solution worth pursuing. "It saves energy, and it saves trees," Fan Bo said.
