The replacement of open fires with more efficient devices in households reduces the amount of fuel wood consumption thro…

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…

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…
