Abstract: Air pollution is serious issue to be solved in our glove. Woods for cooking as traditional biomass release great fumes indoor. It creates pollutants to air and environments that cause a bad condition to human health. In this study, we propose a strategy to reducing emission. A proposed wasted oil cook stoves should be one of solutions for keeping good environment. Huge households in Timór-Lorosa’e really use biomass for cooking, causing bad human health, especially in respiratory.  Waste oil from cars and motorcycles and other three types biomass, Eucalyptus Alba, Mangrove and Casuarinas, are used for a new cooking stove model.  We analyze the CO₂ emissions releasing from three different types of biomass and waste oil cook stoves for comparison.
