Wir bringen Dich mit Caterern aus Deiner Stadt zusammen, machen vegetarische und vegane Gerichte zur einfachen Wahl und planen die Mengen so, dass am Ende möglichst wenig übrig bleibt.

Installation of a 20 MW biomass power project in Godawari, Nepal:

‍The aim of the project activity is to generate electricity from renewable biomass residues, i.e. rice husks, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (CO₂). Since biomass is a CO₂-neutral fuel, the electricity produced by GPIL from renewable biomass has zero greenhouse gas emissions. It also replaces fossil-fuel-intensive power generation from the Indian grid, which leads to a reduction in emissions from such fossil fuels.

Installation of highly efficient wood stoves in Malawi, Southeast Africa:
‍
‍The project in Malawi is distributing 500,000 improved cooking stoves (ICS), which replace conventional basic cooking stoves. These ICS, specifically TLC-CQC rocket stoves, burn wood more efficiently and improve heat transfer, saving fuel. The project aims to stop deforestation, reduce health risks from indoor smoke and reduce the time spent collecting firewood for women and children.

Power generation from a run-of-river power plant in Las Pizarras, Peru:
‍
‍The Las Pizarras project in Peru is a run-of-river power plant with a total installed capacity of 18 MW, which is expected to generate 103.32 GWh of electricity annually. It uses water from the Chancay River and feeds the energy into the national grid (SEIN). With a minimum operating period of 40 years, the project is expected to avoid 68,132 tons of CO₂ equivalents (tCO₂e) annually, which corresponds to 681,323 t of CO₂ over the first 10 years.
