BIOLITE

Eco-Friendly Power, With You Everywhere

BRAND STORY

BioLite was born in 2006 from a simple but powerful idea by two designers: to use fire not only for heating but also to generate energy. The thermoelectric technology developed by Alec Drummond and Jonathan Cedar began to touch the lives of millions with the launch of CampStove in 2012.

BioLite's approach is clear: to produce high-performance, portable, and sustainable energy solutions. Its impact extends from charging phones at campsites to enabling clean cooking in developing regions. Today, the brand supports outdoor users as well as communities with limited access to energy through its CampStove, FirePit, SolarPanel, and portable power stations. Each product is designed to support a life in harmony with nature.

• Longer use with less fuel thanks to energy efficiency.
• Less smoke, more safety with clean combustion technology.
• Durable and mobile solutions for any situation.

BioLite is not just a brand that produces equipment; it also carries a vision of empowering people while protecting nature.

TIMELINE

2006

BioLite co-founders Alec Drummond and Jonathan Cedar began developing the idea of ​​a "wood-burning camping stove" as a weekend project in 2006. The goal was to reduce reliance on cumbersome gas cartridges while camping and to transform wood into an efficient, clean-burning energy source. These initial prototypes laid the foundation for the CampStove concept.

2012

In 2012, BioLite launched CampStove: a portable stove that can boil water using small biomass fuels (branches, pine cones, etc.) and also use the excess heat to generate electricity (thermoelectric). CampStove quickly gained adoption in camping circles and also attracted attention as a tool that provides electricity and heat in emergencies.

2013

Following CampStove, BioLite launched its “HomeStove” pilot programs in India and Uganda in 2013. HomeStove was a larger-format biomass stove focused on reducing the toxic smoke and fuel consumption of traditional open fires used indoors. This step transformed BioLite from a consumer product company into a global player creating solutions for health and climate impact.

2017

BioLite expanded its outdoor product range by launching the FirePit project, a smoke-reducing, portable barbecue/fire bowl, through crowdfunding. The FirePit campaign garnered significant crowdfunding interest and marked a major turning point for the brand in terms of both financing and marketing.

Nowadays

Today, BioLite has built a broad product ecosystem, starting with CampStove and including HomeStove, FirePit, solar panels, rechargeable lighting, and portable energy storage solutions. The company serves both outdoor consumers (campers, nature lovers) and communities in developing regions seeking clean cooking solutions; R&D, impact projects, and sustainability commitments are central to the brand.
