Tanzania  Traditional  Energy  Development  and  Environment  Organization  (TaTEDO) and Programme  for Biomass Energy Conservation (ProBEC) have  been  involved  in  promoting,  training,  capacity  building,  and  marketing  of  improved biomass stoves for several years.

The  two  organizations  contacted  University  of  Dar  es  Salaam  to  conduct  stove  performance  and  emission  tests  for  three  charcoal  stoves  and  four  fuelwood stoves. The tests were conducted at TaTEDO Center for  Sustainable  Energy  Development  at  Goba,  Dar  es  Salaam  from  September  22nd to October 7th 2009.

The stoves that were tested included charcoal stoves (SAHARA and TATEDO  jiko bora, and KUUTE stove), and fuelwood stoves (ENVOTEC, M&R, Okoa- 1,  and  Okoa-2).  The  Water  Boiling  Test  (WBT)  and  emission  results  are  summarized below for hot- and cold-starts.
