Welcome to HEDON, the place where practitioners, policy-makers, funders, and business-owners actively pursuing a cleaner, affordable and more efficient household energy sector unite to share their experiences, learn from one another, and create new knowledge.

How do we do this?

Through people like you, the subscriber, who drives both the content and the direction of the Network.

For example: need up to date information on the leading issues in the household energy sector, such as CO2 and Carbon or Market Creation, including trends, current research, and best practice? Visit the knowledge bank, where the content is created, edited and discussed by subscribers.

Looking for information on an improved stove or fuels? Look it up in the knowledge bank, again, maintained and edited by the subscribers.

Want to know how to conduct a market survey, or measure indoor air quality, or perhaps find funding profiles? Nuts and bolts such as these are all covered in How-to Guides, and tried and tested by the Network.
