Fossil fuels account for more than three fourth of global energy needs and there is urgent need to speed up the transition to renewable forms of energy. We support projects that use clean energy alternatives such as solar, wind and hydro power to verifiably reduce and offset emissions.

Nature has its own way of maintaining carbon balance with trees playing a vital role in the carbon cycle by storing carbon and stabilizing the soil. Ekobon invests in various nature-based projects that focus on reforestation and afforestation.

There is a multitude of projects that focus on the welfare of rural households. They do this by making smoke-free biogas cookstoves and advanced biogas digesters available, which are installed and maintained by local technicians. The aim is to reduce emissions by traditional means like coal and firewood and provide families with clean and free biogas for energy needs in cooking and lighting.

While working towards achieving carbon reduction objective, community projects also focus on supporting local communities by filling the gaps in their everyday needs and making them self-sufficient. The projects encompass economic development initiatives, improvements in cooking technology and provisions for clean water.

Advanced technologies like direct air capture and high-quality biochar production are being developed to absorb carbon and store it for generations thereby creating huge carbon sinks. Ekobon invests in these projects and promotes the use of next generation technology as enablers of carbon emission mitigation.

Apart from trees, oceans and coastlines are also an important part of the natural carbon cycle. Mangroves, sea grasses, and salt marshes along the coast act as carbon sinks and hold carbon. Blue carbon projects aim to create more carbon sinks by investing in mangrove planting and other initiatives.
