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

🩺 Thanks to increasing demand for EKOenergy-lab

🩺 Thanks to increasing demand for EKOenergy-labelled renewable energy, we finance new clean energy projects to fight energy poverty in developing countries. These photos are from a project we have financed last year in Mali, led by @sante_sud, in order to improve primary health care coverage in rural areas.

EKOenergy has provided the financing of photovoltaic installations to meet the electrical needs of the equipment used (lighting, telephone charger, computer, etc) by these front line health centers. Stay tuned for more information!

🇪🇺 This month is the anniversary of our part

🇪🇺 This month is the anniversary of our participation in the EVS/ESC projects! In the past 9 years, we have had over 60 volunteers at our office. We're grateful for the enthusiasm and help from all our past volunteers!

With our current team, we are still asking for more climate action and we won't stop giving the same message: We want sustainable renewables, NOW!

🎥 EKOenergy has been an advocate of consumer empowerment since its launch. We have been striving towards having more energy consumers take environmental sustainability into account and communicate about it. EKO-Merve has been speaking about the influence our energy choices can have and the role of EKOenergy label for 5 years now.

This year, EKO-Merve is one of the finalists for the EU Sustainable Energy Week Young Energy Trailblazer Award! Check the EUSEW website link in our bio to vote and you can help us win! The voting page also features a video the filming crew made about our project.

🐦 There are always reasons to feel hopeful! Many are turning against fossil fuels, including financial insurers. It's great to learn that indigenous-led resistance impacted many fossil fuel projects in the right direction. We don't need new fossil fuel projects, existing ones should be phased out ASAP!

🔥 Last week, before the UN General Assembly, over two thousand academics across disciplines and from 81 countries have delivered a letter demanding a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to manage a global phase out of coal, oil and gas.

In the open letter, the academics recognize that the burning of coal, oil and gas is the greatest contributor to climate change – responsible for almost 80% of carbon dioxide emissions since the industrial revolution. Furthermore, they note that, “air pollution caused by fossil fuels was responsible for almost 1 in 5 deaths worldwide in 2018”.

Check @fossilfueltreaty page for the open letter.

🌈 Some believe that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but unfortunately we only found a garbage...

Last weekend, we participated in a waste pickup activity, organised by @luonnonsuojeluliitto and @lidlsuomi. We think that single-use plastics should be banned and polluters should pay for the pollution they cause! But in the mean time, all of us have to do what we can to limit damage. By picking up waste, we avoid that it ends up in rivers and seas, or in the stomachs of animals.

Thanks a lot to all those involved!

🎓 It's great to see educational institutions committing to renewables too! We are all part of the energy transition, not outside of it. Using renewables is much easier than many think; after taking the first step it's always easier to build on it too.

🥳 We recently welcomed Mariia and Olliveikko to our team! Mariia is our Russian ESC volunteer for this year and Olliveikko will be our Finnish trainee for 2.5 months. Now our team is complete for this year! We're looking forward to getting to know each other better and push for more climate action! @european_youth_eu @europeanyouthfinland

✏️ It’s time for the IEA to #FixTheWEO! Its special report in May was a step forward, but it still encouraged dangerous reliance on carbon capture and storage, gas, and bioenergy – technologies favored by polluting industries but harmful for people. That must end in the 2021 World Energy Outlook!

Including EKOenergy, over 150 civil society organizations united and written to the International Energy Agency’s director, Dr. Fatih Birol, urging him to:

- Put 1.5ºC first in the 2021 World Energy Outlook, with an improved ‘Net Zero Emissions by 2050’ scenario as the central scenario.
- Stop gambling all our futures on carbon capture & storage, fossil gas, nuclear, and bioenergy.

☀️ One of the clean energy projects we finance this year is a solar project for lighting in Nigeria. Chediya village, over 6,000 residents of which have no access to electricity, will have lighting for the local school and the residents won't have to travel to nearby towns to charge their mobile phones or rechargeable lanterns anymore. Thanks to EKOenergy users for making projects like this one possible!

CREACC Nigeria has had meetings with the traditional rulers prior to the beginning of the project. Looking forward to the advancement of the project!

🌍 Referring to the usually conservative International Energy Agency (IEA)'s statement “There is no need for investment in new fossil fuel supply in our net zero pathway”, Clare Farrell explains why Extinction Rebellion is asking for no new fossil fuel investments in the @xrebellionuk article: "It’s the most obvious thing for the government to right away. Before we begin to repair, we need to stop the harm."
