🌍 International non-profit ecolabel. We make sure that the energy you consume is 100% renewable and sustainable.

🇰🇪 New Climate Fund Project!
EKOenergy will grant 20,000 euros to Amani, an Italian development NGO, which will be implementing a solar energy project in Nairobi, Kenya. Amani, along with local non-profit organisation Koinonia Community, are running two rehabilitation centres for street children in the slums of Nairobi:
- Kivuli Centre sets out to provide a safe place for kids previously living on the streets to find affection, the right to education and a group of friends with whom to play and grow.
- Anita’s Home is Amani’s only shelter specifically for girls and young women fleeing from child marriages, or from vulnerable families.
With our support, Amani will install 2 PV systems of 40 kW in total, 2 solar water heaters (200 litres each) and other energy efficiency options including the time-shifting of services (water pump) to better use PV electricity.
The project will also benefit the surrounding neighbourhood with libraries and water wells operating via an electric pump. Kivuli Centre also has a carpentry lab, a dentist lab, a medical dispensary and has a local radio broadcast studio (Mtaani Radio) that works 24 hours per day. All services often rely on diesel generators to assure 24/7 service. The project will assure a 100% switch to renewable energy together with a reduction of 30% on current electricity usage.
The implementation of this project and all other Climate Fund projects wouldn't be possible without the contribution of our consumers, thank you!

🐟 New River Restoration project!
This year the EKOenergy Environmental fund will use 18,500 € to finance a river restoration project on the Schnegaer Mühlenbach, a stream in Lower Saxony, Germany. The restoration was carefully planned by a local branch of the German Nature Organisation BUND and is scheduled for autumn 2020.
The aim of the project is to create a variety of fast and slow-flowing areas, both essential for the plethora of species that can be found in a natural river. The predicted rising of the water level will also benefit the adjacent areas, especially the local meadows.
The Schnegaer Mühlenbach is already home to many rare and important species, all of which will benefit from the more diverse and natural environments being created through the implementation of these restoration projects.
We want to thank all our consumers, it is their contributions to the Environmental Fund that makes such projects possible!

💼 The development of renewable energy is not on

💼 The development of renewable energy is not only an important step in fighting climate change but also a win for employment expansion after the crisis caused by Covid-19.
According to the IRENA Renewable Energy and Jobs – Annual Review 2019, transforming the energy system could boost cumulative global Gross Domestic Product gains above business-as-usual by US$ 98 trillion between now and 2050. It would nearly quadruple renewable energy jobs to 42 million, expand employment in energy efficiency to 21 million, and add 15 million in system flexibility.
Moreover, the renewable energy sector helps to overcome gender gaps in the energy sector in general by providing multidisciplinary job opportunities. Women currently represent 32% of the renewable energy workforce, substantially higher than the 22% average reported for the global oil and gas industry.

🧺 Did you know that when using a clothes dryer, you usually spend around 3.3 KW per hour? When you hang up your laundry you use 0 KW per hour instead! It might take longer for the laundry to dry, but this way not only do you prolong the lifecycle of your clothes, you also contribute to saving the planet from unnecessary CO2 emissions!

🇳🇵 Two new Climate Fund projects selected in Nepal!
EKOenergy has granted 22,000 euros to a solar energy project that is going to be implemented by the British charity organisation Renewable World. This project focuses on using proven solar water pumping technology, water access and climate-smart agriculture as catalysts for improvement in food security, income generation and sanitation. The project will directly benefit 495 households in five of the poorest and hardest to reach communities in the Achham District, with 1,730 households benefitting from additional agricultural services.
The second project will be implemented by the US organisation GRID Alternatives, with EKOenergy granting 20,000 euros. With our support (combined with the support of other donors), GRID Alternatives will be able to install a battery-based, off-grid 14.85 kW solar system at a health clinic and birthing centre in the remote Kanakasundari Rural Municipality of the Jumla District, Nepal. The clinic serves approximately 10,000 residents from surrounding communities and will have a lasting impact on livelihoods in these areas.
All Climate Fund projects would not be possible without the contribution of our consumers. Thank you all for choosing 100% sustainable energy and contributing to reaching the sustainable development goals around the world!

🏰 The disastrous impact of coal mining on clima

🏰 The disastrous impact of coal mining on climate change is a well-known fact but recently it led to the destruction of an important archaeological site. Resulting from the expansion of the mining site, which is located next to the archaeological site, one of the coal mining machines damaged ancient ships found on the site in Serbia - dating back to the Roman era. The expansion of the mining site happened against environmental impact assessments and threatens this important piece of cultural heritage. Similar situations have emerged in several archaeological sites in Turkey, but so far archaeologists have managed to win in the fight against miners - yet with very subtle success. What we need in order to save our planet and our cultural heritage is a fair energy transition. Coal is the most emitting source of energy, and by phasing out coal we can not only save the future - but also save the past.
