COMPENSATE CO2 EMISSIONS WHILE SLEEPING

CLIMATE PARTNER°

Compensate CO2 emissions while sleeping – how does it work?

ClimatePartner ° had balanced our emissions last year and came to the conclusion that it would be possible to compensate the CO2 emissions while your stay with a climate contribution of only 1,00 € per night. With this amount, the project "biomass" is now supported since January 2014. This project is situated in the brazilian state Alagoas consists of two red ceramic industries, which use renewable and abundant biomass to operate their kilns.

Bandeira and Capelli are two red ceramic industries in the northeastern state of Alagoas, Brazil. Both industries started using biomass to operate their kilns. In Brazil, traditionally fossil fuels and native wood from local forests are used for thermal energy processes, which cause massive deforestation. As renewable biomasses, the grouping uses coconut husks, sustainable farmed bamboo, sawdust and sugar cane bagasse.

Additional sustainable benefits of the project:

• Protection and preservation of the biodiversity
• Reforestation of areas that have been cleared
• Fighting against illiteracy of the employees, daily lectures in Portuguese and Mathematics classes
• Medical and dental care for the employees, construction of public housing
• Active sensibilisation of the local community for environmental issues, e.g. by promoting field trips of local schools and hosting cultural events
