Eco Ltd are editors and publishers of the journal ‘Boiling Point’, a household energy magazine that provides free and accessible information to practitioners, researchers and users, reaching over 2000 addresses and an estimated readership of 5 times this number worldwide. The journal reflects much of what Eco Ltd is about, aiming to improve the quality of life for poor communities living in the developing world by dealing with the various technical, social, financial and environmental issues that all contribute to improved access to energy services.

Having first been created by Practical Action in 1982, Eco Ltd have managed the journal for the past two years and are continuing to innovate both content and format, with a now expanded readership and full integration into the HEDON Household Energy Network website (including back issues). Eco also sponsor the journal along with Practical Action, GTZ and guest sponsors such as GVEP International.

By building on Eco’s expertise and global network of contacts we have now firmly established Boiling Point as the premier journal for household energy. The print version of Edition 55: Monitoring and Evaluation was distributed by direct mail and via sponsors to all corners of the globe and a digital version was sent to over 330 online subscribers. All Boiling Point articles are also available as web pages and, since publication in June 2008, the BP55 pages on HEDON have been viewed over 1500 times with many more people viewing the downloadable pdf’s.
