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…

“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…

This Programme of Activities (PoA) generates solar power which is supplied to the grid system of India. The PoA’s objective is to develop a carbon platform for overcoming hurdles encountered during implementation of small-scale solar power projects in India. The project activities under this PoA are the first of their kind…

The Grid-Connected Solar PV Power Project in Bhagwanpura, located in the Javad tehsil of Neemach district, Madhya Pradesh, India a visionary initiative, implemented by Welspun Solar Madhya Pradesh Private Limited (WSMPPL), signifies a monumental step towards sustainability and environmental stewardship.

The purpose of this project is to reduce emissions from household cooking stoves.
