The results

The results showed that using a smaller quantity of water reduces water consumption by 30% (700 ml vs. 1000 ml) and cuts up to 13% energy and CO2 emissions. Placing the lid on the pot speeds up the time it takes the water to boil and saves up to 6% energy and CO2 emissions. And by turning off the stove after 2 minutes, the pasta continues to cook passively, cutting energy requirements and CO2 emissions by 47%.

So what's the potential ecological impact?
