Aden Support African Biomass Conservation through High Quality Carbon Offsetting

Aden have Offset 25% of their Carbon Emissions from the Last Quarter.

The project we have chosen to support this quarter is an African Biomass Energy Conservation in Malawi. We have offset 25% of our carbon emissions from the last quarter using this recommended high quality carbon offsetting project with Carbon Footprint Ltd.

The project aims to disseminate over 8,000 improved energy efficient cookstoves to homes in Malawi. Malawi is classed by the United Nations as a Least Developed Country (LDC). The economy is heavily based on agriculture, and it has a largely rural and rapidly growing population. The project promotes improved kitchen and firewood management practices. The improved technology and practices are intended to replace less efficient technologies and practices and result in biomass conservation and a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere from the burning of solid biomass. Ancillary benefits include reduced smoke during cooking, which reduces exposure to health damaging pollutants and reduced time and effort procuring wood fuel. The stoves are attractive to end-users and can result in quicker cooking times. The stoves are locally made using local materials wherever possible, resulting in local income generation and the acquisition of new skills for local people. The project will result in approximately 10,000 tCO2e emissions being saved per year.
