\r\n\r\nAn integral part of our approach to managing the greenhouse gas emissions generated at our office locations is offsetting these emissions. We therefore purchase emission reduction certificates annually from selected climate protection projects.\r\n\r\nOne such project, which we have been supporting since 2019, is the construction of small-scale biogas plants in Nepal.\r\n\r\nThis project is organised by atmosfair, a non-profit organisation based in Berlin. Our support for the project has helped to fund the construction and maintenance of several hundred small-scale biogas plants in Nepal. These plants are fuelled by cow dung and replace the open fires that are otherwise common in the country. According to the project organiser, each plant can save approximately 3 tonnes of CO2<\/sub> per year. At the same time, this reduces the demand for firewood. We also regularly support other selected projects.\r\n\r\n<\/div> weiss a:4:{i:0;s:11:”text-normal”;i:1;s:5:”cards”;i:2;s:12:”zitat_teaser”;i:3;s:11:”text-normal”;} The projects in detail hellblau slider 2977 Solar drinking water supply in Togo The project contributes to equitable access to affordable clean drinking water. a:3:{s:5:”title”;s:10:”Learn more”;s:3:”url”;s:116:”https:\/\/www.wpd.de\/en\/wpd\/sustainable-action-at-wpd\/climate-protection-projects\/solar-drinking-water-supply-in-togo\/”;s:6:”target”;s:0:””;} a:7:{i:0;s:4:”card”;i:1;s:4:”card”;i:2;s:4:”card”;i:3;s:4:”card”;i:4;s:4:”card”;i:5;s:4:”card”;i:6;s:4:”card”;} 2962 Supplying health centers with CO2<\/sub>-free electricity in Madagascar wpd has ensured the electrification of a health center by installing a rooftop solar system. a:3:{s:5:”title”;s:10:”Learn more”;s:3:”url”;s:145:”https:\/\/www.wpd.de\/en\/wpd\/sustainable-action-at-wpd\/climate-protection-projects\/supplying-health-centers-with-co2-free-electricity-in-madagascar\/”;s:6:”target”;s:0:””;} 1930 Small biogas plants in Nepal wpd is funding the construction and repair of small-scale biogas plants in Nepal.
