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.

This cook stove project is run by RIPPLE Africa (a UK charity) and benefits approximately 200,000 people in Malawi. RIPPLE has so far replaced about 40,000 traditional three-stone cooking fires with fuel efficient cook stoves. This project is reducing greenhouse gases emissions as well as preventing deforestation and respi…

“Distribution of ONIL Stoves — Guatemala” project involves the distribution of fuel-efficient, improved cook stoves to households across Guatemala in households that currently use conventional open fire. The replacement of open fires with more efficient devices in households reduces the amount of fuel wood consumption thro…

Bus Rapid Transit Zhengzhou is a modern bus-based mass transit system. The project features the largest fleet of hybrid and electric buses worldwide with more than 3.100 units. The project includes 100 km of bus-only lanes, an integrated smart ticketing system, and real-time information of customers.

The purpose of the project activity is to set up a natural gas based combined cycle power plant (CCPP) through a special purpose vehicle Bhander Power Limited (BPL).

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…

A wind power project launched in 2013 in Jamnagar, Gujarat, harnesses the power of wind to deliver clean electricity to the national grid. This eco-friendly solution displaces electricity generation from fossil fuel plants, contributing to an annual reduction of approximately 12,371 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. Wind e…
