Teen solves centuries-old math problem
ESSEN, Germany, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- An effort to encourage Zambians to use biomass instead of charcoal contributes to efforts to push green technology in developing nations, executives say.
German natural gas and electric power utility RWE announced it was working with partner organizations to encourage Zambian households to use a cooking system fueled by biomass.
The cooker uses less fuel than conventional stoves by replacing charcoal with wood biomass. RWE said the program would remove 1.5 million tons of CO2 by 2020. Health effects from the use of charcoal will also be eliminated through the project.
Ludwig Kons, head of climate protection at RWE Power, said the measure displayed leadership in the push for green initiatives. It also backs efforts envisioned by the organizers of the December climate-change conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, for sustainable energy practices in developing nations.
"Now the right course must be set so that European companies like RWE can continue to invest in such international climate protection projects," he said.
