The experience gained through the initiative to transition to clean and energy efficient heating in rural areas was improved during the pilot production of solid fuel stoves and the Jalyn low pressure boilers.
The key advantages of Jalyn heating devices lie in their ability to save fuel and operating time therefore reducing harmful emissions such as CO, CO2, SO2, and PM2.5. This not only enhances the living conditions for energy users but also contributes to a healthier environment. Project data indicates that over 80% of the Kyrgyzstani population relies on inefficient stoves with high coal consumption, leading to elevated levels of harmful emissions. These outdated models particularly impact the health of women and children responsible for the care and maintenance of stoves.
Jalyn stoves and boilers, serving as an alternative to traditional stove combustion, have proven instrumental in providing regional residents with energy, improving their health, and reducing indoor domestic air pollution through the complete combustion of solid fuel. Furthermore, this transition has reduced extent of energy poverty. The adoption of energy-saving technologies has gained significant traction in the local market, fostering the production and sale of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly heating devices.
In February 2021, the Centre for Development and Production of Energy-Efficient Technologies was opened in Bishkek. Over the course of the year, the center's engineers and welders manufactured 130 heating devices. The team also managed to invent three new models of boilers with different capacities (12 kW, 18 kW, 22 kW).
Almost 550 000 Kyrgyz people learned about the Jalyn stoves and boilers through marketing and information campaigns, the main goal of which was to promote energy efficient and environmentally friendly technologies.
The Jalyn stoves and boilers were presented to the visitors of exhibitions organized by tourist and construction companies.
