Investing in GMDR technology
ECO facilitates the adoption of efficient kilns
11-01/ By 2050 every second African citizen will rely on wood-based fuels. This UNEP figure draws attention to a neglected sector of CO2 emissions: those from rural charcoal producing communities in numerous LDCs. ECO Consult's pioneering work in Madagascar, in adapting and improving kiln technologies, has led us to promote the more efficient, and thus GHG saving, GMDR (Green Mad Dome Retort). Apart from avoiding the release of thousands of tons of avoidable GHG emissions, this technology is also a means for getting revenues from carbon markets and help improve local livelihoods: small green investments that pay double and save the resource base. ECO Consult experts facilitate dissemination of the technology and assist investors. > RENEWABLE ENERGY
