While wood fuel is inefficient, they are designing this system for distribution to poor communities of the world, i.e. places that are unlikely to have easy access to electricity. The wood-burning appears to be a recognition of the most likely source of input energy for their intended customers.
Of course they fail to explain how these poor communities will manage to purchase these incredibly high-tech refridgerator/stoves.
