About

Nexleaf Analytics' innovative financing mechanism enables the very poor to switch to clean cooking solutions. Its Sensor-Enabled Climate Financing, is the first of its kind, and uses sensors to send real time cooking data over mobile systems to enable clean cookstove users to receive climate credits for reducing SLCPs like black carbon and ozone precursors.
