Bhutan produces 1.5 million tonnes of carbon every year, but thanks to the country’s 72 per cent forest coverage, more than 6 million tonnes of carbon is absorbed.

Bhutan’s population is only around 750,000; however, many other small countries have not achieved even carbon neutral status.

Since 1972, Bhutan has based their political decisions on a Gross National Happiness (GNH) index, rather than Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

All government policies are vetted according to GNH, and what the Bhutanese call the four pillars: good governance, sustainable promotion of socioeconomic development, preservation of culture and environmental conservation.

A 2015 survey found 91 per cent of Bhutanese people were narrowly, extensively or deeply happy.

From 2009, Bhutan introduced a series of policies to ensure the country stayed carbon neutral including a constitutional amendment to guarantee forested areas would not fall below 60 per cent, free hydroelectric power generated by Bhutan’s many rivers was prioritised over fossil fuels and export logging was prohibited.

The Bhutanese government has partnered with Nissan to provide hundreds of electric cars to the country— thousands more are to be supplied in the near future, with Bhutan’s Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay aiming to eventually convert all of the country's vehicles to electric power.

Vijay Moktan, Conservation Director of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Bhutan, said: “It was easier for us, than say India or China, because we have only 20 people per sq. km. We have also had political commitment…In the 2000s, pressure began to build on the forests. There was a lot of demand for timber. So, when Bhutan became a democracy in 2008, a mandatory 60 per cent forest cover was introduced in the constitution. We now have 70 per cent cover.”

The government has also started providing rural farmers with free electricity to lessen their dependence on wood stoves for cooking.

Additionally, even more trees have been planted, last June volunteers set a world record by planting 49,672 trees in just one hour.

The country is now aiming to grow 100 per cent organic food by 2020, to produce zero waste by 2030, to generate zero net greenhouse gas emission and to increase its share of renewables, particularly wind and solar.

Going green has many benefits. The obvious one is that it reduces one’s carbon footprint, in turn saving the environment. Another reason to unplug from the grid is to reduce electricity bills. By using solar panels or wind turbines, one could run one’s home using nature’s resources. However, these systems come at a price.

What do you need to build your own solar power system?
A solar powered setup requires costly solar panels (enough to run one’s home). First of all, it requires an inverter to convert the power from DC to AC in order to run the appliances. Secondly, a battery pack is needed to store the collected energy. More sophisticated systems can include solar tracking and Maximum Power Point trackers (MPPT’s).

A complete residential solar power system, sized between 3 – 8 kW, can cost between $15,000 and $40,000. So until the price of this technology plummets in the future (hopefully), what we can do to cut the costs of a solar system is for us Afritec Consult to listen to your need and customize as per your power needs.

Contact us for we know there is a thing for everyone. We shall listen to you and advise according on a system that will suite your power needs.

It was all smiles for this Imarika member when he received connect 3000 solar kit plus a TV set. The son holds the LED tube light. He expressed his excitement by saying that his son will be able to use clean lighting to do his studies.

It was all smiles for Mr. Patrobas family in Kilifi county when Afritec delivered barefoot connect 3000 series kit plus TV and did the installation in their house. This installation was carried out as a pilot requested by Imarika Sacco on a light up a house/village. Though this initiative Afritec Consult is looking forward to providing clean lighting power to Many off-grid homesteads and enjoy lighting without worrying about power bills

Facts on Clean Power

An estimated 1.2 billion people – 17% of the global population – did not have access to electricity in 2013, 84 million fewer than in the previous year. Many more suffer from supply that is of poor quality. More than 95% of those living without electricity are in countries in sub-Saharan Africa and developing Asia, and they are predominantly in rural areas (around 80% of the world total). While still far from complete, progress in providing electrification in urban areas has outpaced that in rural areas two to one since 2000.

2nd and 3rd of April were eventful days when Afritec Joined Jitegemee Sacco Members during their Education field day. ACL show cased some of the solar products in their portfolio and educated the Sacco members on green energy and how to embrace it.

Afritec is excited and proud to enter into a partnership with Jitegemee for a Light up a house/village by supplying it's members with clean and reliable Energy product. "No more Kerosene and toxic fumes. Children can now study without worries of complications brought about by use of kerosene for lighting"
