A new type of carbon offsets is fighting the causes of deforestation
Today, Verplancke Ventures GmbH from Gilching, Germany, announced it is starting operations in Senegal to supply a new type of carbon offsets via its "Stop Burning Wood" subscription model. Corporate and private subscribers become co-owners of batches of solar electric cooking equipment, consisting of 4 solar panels, a 3 kWh Lithium battery, a 1,5 kW inverter and a 700 W power-saving, insulated, electrical cooking pot. The Stop Burning Wood staff in Senegal installs the equipment in the homes of families who have been cooking with firewood. The families do not receive ownership of the system, only the right to use it (the so-called usufruct). Stop Burning Wood provides maintenance and support to the families and regular reports to the subscribers regarding the location and the good use of the equipment. In this way, the Stop Burning Wood program offers a high degree of transparency and accountability.Switching from firewood to solar electricity for cooking, every family will generate around 2.8 tons of CO2 emission reductions per year, the equivalent of (not) driving a car for around 23000 km. Firewood and charcoal production are major causes of deforestation in the Sahel region, despite all tree-planting efforts and FMNR (farmer-managed natural regeneration) programs.
Stop Burning Wood (https://stopburningwood.com) is a commercial initiative that addresses a serious shortcoming of previous solar energy projects in the region: until now, solar energy plants have provided too little power and almost no battery storage capacity, which means they could not supply enough electricity for cooking.
