🌬️ Our Awarded Project: Reducing Emissions from Urban Heating

Our initiative addressed the widespread use of coal for heating and cooking in apartment buildings—a major contributor to fine particulate pollution in Kabul. The project involved:

  • Designing and piloting emission-reducing filters on heating systems

  • Implementation in seven large residential buildings

  • Direct benefit to over 780 residents through improved indoor and outdoor air quality

  • Technology developed with a cost-efficient model: USD 2,000–3,500 per unit

  • Potential for scalable, low-cost solutions to improve air quality in urban environments

This innovation aligns with our mission to develop climate-smart, community-based, and cost-effective solutions that address critical environmental challenges in developing cities.
