Challenge<\/h2>

Cooking with fossil fuels is particularly harmful to the health of women and children.<\/p>\n

The massive use of wood and charcoal is deforesting entire regions. Biodiversity is declining, soils are eroding, and trees are missing as CO2<\/sub>-Memory.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div>

Our solution<\/h2>

BioPelletsEnergy offers a sustainable energy source to people without access to electricity.<\/p>\n

Improving people\u2019s quality of life and everyday life is also effective environmental protection.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

An energy-self-sufficient pelleting plant produces our BioPellets from the abundant Miscanthus grass using the power of the sun.<\/p>\n

In safe and effective cookers, the pellets carbonize into a highly productive fertilizer while people prepare their meals.<\/p>\n

The coal stores water and enriches the eroded soils with minerals.<\/p>\n

The fertile soils increase the production of food and energy-usable biomass.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Developed cooker models are AJPER<\/a> manufactured and distributed centrally in Fianarantsoa. Furthermore, the rural population in structurally weak villages, supported by the WP Schmitz Foundation<\/a>, education and tools to produce efficient cookers independently from local resources.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The self-sufficient energy supply, consisting of 60 photovoltaic modules and a battery storage system, which is partly HOPPECKE Batteries<\/a> donated, enables independent pellet production in the remote southwest of Madagascar.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

With the start of production in April 2024, people from the surrounding communities will bring miscanthus grass and crop residues to the pellet factory, in return for which they will receive pellets as a wood substitute. DELETE<\/a> The biomass is crushed in the donated hammer mill and automatically fed into the pellet press.<\/p>\n

By converting these into biochar in the pyrolysis cookers, they can now use the fertilizer Terra Preta<\/a> and can use the time saved by eliminating the costly wood harvesting to increase their harvest yields.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The low-emission and efficient cookers protect their users with their insulating shell made of clay bricks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Using grass as fuel reduces the pressure on remaining species and forests. Applied as fertilizer, the charred pellets significantly increase soil fertility. Furthermore, harvesting the grass twice a year prevents the start and spread of fires.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div>

Company<\/h2>

Local people can help with the harvest instead of spending hours every day searching for leftover wood. This provides them with work and provides them with BioPellets. After about three years, the partners are able to build a sustainable business independent of BioPelletsEnergy and offer the wealthier population cheaper pellets instead of charcoal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div>

Environment<\/h2>

Supplying 480 households with pellets through a small press and with efficient cookers results in a saving of about 1000 t CO2<\/sub> yearly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
