The purpose of this project is to reduce emissions from household cooking stoves. The use of non-renewable fuel such as wood and charcoal for cooking, leads to the emission of greenhouses gasses, deforestation and poor indoor climate. The programme uses a number of different technologies to reach this goal.

CookClean manufactures efficient cookstoves to displace the resources wasteful and unhealthy traditional stoves which kill 13,400 people and subject 21 million to Household Air Pollution yearly in Ghana.

A recent study in Malawi showed that switching from a three-stone fire to a Chitetezo Mbaula stove reduces the amount of particles emitted by 46% and carbon monoxide by 44%. A well-tuned stove can reduce firewood consumption by up to 80%, knowing that Malawi suffered 57% deforestation between 1972 and 1992. The Chite…

Chacayes run of river hydro project is a 111 MW power plant located in the Cachapoal Valley of Chile. Operating since 2011, it has played an important role meeting country’s increasing demand of electricity, reducing CO2 emissions and contributing to the economic growth and sustainable development of local communities.

The Salkhit Wind Farm is the first grid connected wind farm in Mongolia. The project generates renewable electricity using wind power resources and supplies it to the Mongolian central electricity system grid to meet the growing electricity demand.

The CGR Guatapará Landfill Project, located in Guatapará, São Paulo, Brazil, is a large-scale environmental initiative that captures and utilizes landfill gas (LFG), primarily methane, generated from the decomposition of municipal solid waste. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and if left unmanaged, it would escape into…

The Paulínia Landfill Gas Project, located in São Paulo, Brazil, is an initiative by ESTRE Ambiental S/A that significantly improves waste management practices while fighting climate change. The project captures methane gas—a highly potent greenhouse gas—produced from the natural decomposition of organic waste in landfills…

The Corredor dos Senandes CDM Project, located in Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil, involves the development and operation of the Corredor dos Senandes wind power complex, comprising four wind power plants (WPPs) on the same site. The project has a total installed capacity of 108 MW. Each wind turbine has a unitary in…
