ACEP Ethanol Stove Innovation Hackathon 2025

The ACEP Ethanol Stove Innovation Hackathon 2025 invites participants to develop working prototypes of ethanol-based cookstoves that are environmentally sustainable and suitable for households in Ghana and beyond. The event is structured as a two-phase competition where individuals or teams design stoves that are efficient, affordable, safe, and locally adaptable. A total grant funding pool of up to $15,000 will support material costs, fabrication, testing, and the creation of a detailed design guide for the winning concepts.

Funding to develop a functional stove prototype and a detailed design guide; potential recognition through inclusion in an ongoing ACEP initiative.

Open to Ghanaian citizens aged 35 or younger; targeted at tertiary-level students and early-career professionals; individuals or teams (up to five members) may apply.
