Welcome to the June edition of our newsletter, having just returned from a successful trip to Carbon Expo in Cologne it was great to catch up with our ICROA partners and the wider business community. Work has not stopped at CO2balance all year with the team doing some great work. Congratulations to the IT team for launching the newly redesigned website (www.co2balance.com). Our project development team have been working on some really interesting opportunities throughout East Africa and we are now starting to make progress in Bangladesh. Please take a look at the projects updates below if you would like further information about any of these projects or potential partnerships please get in touch.

Just to offer an overview of the project, the project will take place over the course of six months, during which time, local female artisans will be trained by CZK to build and sell 900 energy-efficient bucket stoves.
