Where there's smoke, there’s a solution: GaSIO lights the way

Fire has always been essential to human survival - for warmth, food, and connection. But in many parts of the world, the fire we rely on still comes at a cost: thick smoke, carbon emissions, deforestation, and health risks.

The Center for Creativity and Sustainability Study and Consultancy (CCS), a Vietnamese scientific and technological organization under the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations (VUSTA) established in 2013, has developed GaSIO, a biomass gasification technology, researched and developed by them, that converts agricultural residues into clean energy and biochar. This innovation addresses rural energy needs, reduces CO₂ emissions, and promotes sustainable livelihoods. The GaSIO technology has been granted a patent in Vietnam and is currently undergoing procedures for global protection.

They have ignited the communities with these:
  • Each GaSIO stove reduces at least 2 tons of CO₂ annually, saves up to 80% of fuel cost compared to LPG or coal;
  • Utilizes local agricultural waste, decreasing reliance on firewood;
  • Produces biochar, enhancing soil fertility and carbon sequestration;
  • Improves indoor air quality, mitigating health risks from traditional cookingmethods.
In April, CCS proudly joined the 4th P4G Summit, where global leaders gathered to promote a sustainable and people-centered green transition.

At the Green Growth Exhibition, CCS showcased the GaSIO technology to the Vietnam Prime Minister and international audience.
