The SERI Board decided on its meeting in 2016 to compensate its CO₂ emissions business trips. Based on the calculations from 2017 on SERI so far compensated for more than 65.000 kg CO₂.
This means that more than 20 “Save 80” stoves have been financed for the time-period from 2017-2020.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020-2021, there were virtually no business trips.

Offset project "Save 80" stoves:

• Reduction of wood consumption.
• Type "Save80" wood stoves save 80 percent firewood for cooking.
• Firewood costs (Africa) to food costs are about 10 to 1 (in Europe 1 to 1).
• Avoidance of harmful smoke and accidents, especially affecting women and children.
• Reduction of deforestation over a wide area, thus reducing landscape erosion.
• Each stove saves about 2 to 3 tonnes of CO₂ per year.
• Job creation through local production with new sources of income.
