==History==
Envirofit International began in 2003 as an adjunct program to the (Colorado State University Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory ) to bring sustainable clean energy solutions to solve health and energy challenges on a global level. The first product was a retrofit technology to reduce pollution from two-stroke cycle vehicle engines in the Philippines. This project won the Rolex Award for Enterprise in 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rolexawards.com/profiles/laureates/tim_bauer/project )〕 Envirofit engineers then turned their focus to stoves. Envirofit International’s first commercial clean cook stove model was produced in India in 2008. In order to meet the demands of consumers throughout the various markets and the growing health concerns of cooking on a traditional stove, Envirofit started to scale the model in 2010. In 2009, Nathan Lorenz and Tim Bauer were named Heros of the Environment for their smokeless and less hazardous stove by Time Magazine.
In 2007 Envirofit partnered with (The Shell Foundation’s Breathing Space Program ) to develop clean cook stoves. This partnership launched a World Wide Clean Technology Cook Stove Business to combat indoor air pollution through a market-based approach. As a team, The Shell Foundation and Envirofit International, have not only raised significant awareness about the dangers of indoor air pollution but also helped solve this problem with their certified clean stoves.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.shellfoundation.org/pages/core_lines.php?p=corelines_content&page=breathing )〕
