Climate Projects
with a positive impact on
half of humanity
There is no planet B ...
ClimEtSan-OnTheGround is an impact-oriented company, which develops and implements climate projects, mainly in the Global South. We work in close cooperation with local communities and do not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions and removal CO2 from the atmosphere, but additionally improve environment and living conditions.
About Us
Billions of people lack access to decent sanitation, smokeless cooking options and affordable fertilizers that build soil fertility and thus enable sustainable and stable harvests. ClimEtSan-OnTheGround combines smokeless, biochar-producing cooking stoves with affordable, ecological sanitation and biochar-compost fertilizer. The sale of carbon credits enables us to co-finance our holistic approach and thus maximize the positive impact on our partner countries. We are a spin-off from German research center Forschungszentrum Jülich and our approach is based on the outcomes of a 5-year research project in Ethiopia.
Our Work
We are using an integrated approach of biochar-producing micro-gasifier cookstoves, eco-toilets and biochar-fertilizer production in our climate projects.
Elements of our work
With our subsidiary companies we implement our projects together with local communities. Ethiopia is our first partner country. Here we build local workshops that produce our stoves, implement an eco-sanitation system based on rental and public toilets and establish composting plants that produce our nutrient-rich biochar-fertilizer.
Project Management
We plan, develop and implement sustainable climate projects in the Global South. Here we combine clean cookstoves, ecological sanitation and biochar-fertilizer production for regenerative agriculture.
Ecological Sanitation
Public and private dry toilets are the ecological sanitation solution we implement in our partner countries. Instead of water, we flush with sawdust and effective material to prevent odors. We collect the full buckets and use the material for production of a biochar-based fertilizer.
Composting
Thermophilic composting of wastes from ecological sanitation, biochar and organic waste is our solution for the production of safe, organic fertilizers. During thermophilic composting the mixture is heated up to 80°C. This kills pathogens and transforms the material into nutrient-rich biochar-compost.
Micro-Gasifier
We use NOAH micro-gasifier cookstoves, developed and patented by our cooperation partner PRO LEHM. These stoves require 60% less wood than the traditional way of cooking, burn smokeless and produce biochar as a by-product. Together with PRO LEHM, we build stove workshops in rural areas. Here we train young people in stove production and provide stoves and fuel material for local housholds. The produced biochar is collected from the households and used for biochar-fertilizer production.

Regenerative Agriculture
We are providing a safe and nutrient-rich fertilizer for regenerative smallholder agriculture. Our biochar-compost increased soil fertility and water storing capacity of soils and thereby contributes to stable yields and food security.

Background
ClimEtSan-OnTheGround was founded in 2022 through the initiative of Dr. Katharina Prost as a spin-off from German research center Forschungszentrum Jülich. From 2017-2021 the project "Capacity-Building in Ecological Sanitation and Climate-Smart-Agriculture in Ethiopia (ClimEtSan)" explored the application of ecological sanitation and micro-gasifier cookstoves to produce compost in the context of climate-smart agriculture. On basis of the promising outcomes of the ClimEtSan-project, ClimEtSan-OnTheGround evolved.
