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.

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.
Carbon dioxide is a natural component of our air. At the same time, it is a driver of global warming and therefore one of the greatest challenges of our time. However, the invisible waste product of our consumer society has no price and climate-damaging behaviour is often rewarded financially. The author of this blog is convinced that CO2 urgently needs a price
The non-profit organisation ADES sells its cookers in Madagascar at a fraction of their cost. Donations amount to only about a third of the investments made. Nevertheless, ADES can show impressive growth and has a solid financing model, thanks to which three francs currently reach Madagascar for every franc donated.
