Ningxia Shapotou Hydropower Project of Yellow River is a run-of-river hydro power project located in Yellow River, Zhongwei City, Ningxia. The total installed capacity is 120.3MW and the electricity supplied to the power grid is 578.022GWh/yr.

The objective of the project is the generation of zero carbon emission electricity from a renewable source - hydropower.

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).

The project resides in the industrial district of Bocaiúva, in the northern state of Minas Gerais, a region dedicated to metallurgy, mining, agriculture and reforestation. The project replaces fossil fuel by renewable biomass at one of the factories of Rima Industrial.

The bundled project activity comprises of two run-of-the river hydroelectric schemes with capacities of 5 MW each. It utilizes surplus hydro potential available in Baner Khad & Iku Khad, both tributaries of the river Beas in the state of Himachal Pradesh, Northern India. It exports the generated electricity to the Himachal…

The project generates electricity using hydro potential available in Cauvery River and exporting the generated electricity to the state-owned power utility company Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Ltd. (KPTCL).

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…

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…
