ADES workshop Mahazengy has been shaping the path to clean cooking in Madagascar for 10 years
The non-profit organisation ADES produces solar and energy-saving cookers in Madagascar and sells them to the local population at discounted prices. At the heart of the production chain is the Mahazengy factory in Fianarantsoa, where the clay cores for the energy-saving cookers are manufactured. The workshop celebrated its tenth anniversary last weekend.
The new bulletin is here!
In the new Bulletin, we report on our 500,000th cooker and current challenges in production and sales, among other things.

The voluntary CO2 certificate market
To explain how the voluntary carbon market works, we let a recognised specialist have his say. We would like to thank Nicolas Kompalitch for the following text. He is CEO of Canopy Energies, which will distribute ADES CO2 certificates outside the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Canopy Energies has set itself the goal of counteracting global warming by generating clean energy and reducing carbon emissions. We would like to thank Nicolas for his contribution to the ADES blog.
