Turning waste biogas into electricity in Thailand
This innovative project mitigates greenhouse gas emissions caused by the decomposition of wastewater from the Thai San Miguel Liquor (TSML) distillery in Bangkok, by capturing biogas from wastewater and converting it to electricity in newly-installed engines.
Fuel efficient cookstoves in Honduras
This small-scale project, run locally in Honduras by Envirofit, involves the distribution of 300,000 fuel-efficient cookstoves in households across the country.
Because the new cookstoves improve heat transfer efficiency (reducing the amount of wood required to cook a meal), the project reduces the demand for biomass fuel, leading to a reduction in the rate of deforestation connected to wood consumption. The corresponding reduction in use of the original, less efficient stoves yields a reduction in emissions from fuel combustion – improving air quality within the home, and reducing emissions of the harmful gases that contribute to climate change.
