MCS Group recently displayed 100 stoves during the 372nd anniversary of Ulaanbaatar to demonstrate their performance to the public. The firm is currently financing the replacement of 70,000 home stoves for more energy efficient models.

The project is the firm’s initiative as part of its commitment to the Clean Air Project of the Millennium Challenge Account of Mongolia with the objective to combat Ulaanbaatar's air pollution problem.  The new stoves will produce 90 percent less smoke than traditional stoves.

Referred to as the “smokeless stove,” it is already in use in more than 20,000 households. Families have been keen to buy the new stove for its fuel saving benefits.

This year Ulaanbaatar was declared the most polluted city in the world during winter by the World Health Organization.
