The South African government is in the process of introducing safety standards for Paraffin stoves because of the high social costs of fires – it is estimated there are 50,000 paraffin related fires per year which accounts for 3,000 deaths, 50,000 related burns and an estimated 200,000 homes destroyed.

Alternative energy sources are therefore being actively encouraged by the government - municipalities currently are providing the poor communities free Gel stoves & gel on a monthly basis & gel on a monthly basis.

Greenheat is looking to break into the paraffin market because of it’s huge potential.

• 18 million South Africans use paraffin appliances daily. Even those with electricity use paraffin because it is cheaper.
• 80 million litres of paraffin are used annually

Currently there is very little alternative to using paraffin – Greenheat believes with proper marketing the gelfuel will develop its own market.
