Addis Fortune "Mekonnen Yimer (Captain), 60, is a retiree who for 31 years served Angolan Airlines and the local national carrier, Ethiopian Airlines. With his accumulated wealth, he established a company that manufactures an energy-saving stove, Eco-Yehulunesh, with a capital of one million Birr hoping to tap the increasing demand in the country.
According to Mekonnen, the stove that he invented would produce energy for homes, hotels and industries using inexpensive kerosene thus decreasing deforestation. Especially, in countryside residences, large volumes of wood from felled trees are used for household cooking."
