Project Summary / Description:

I had brief idea of same in my Engineering 2019 because in Mechanical we have 2 core subjects named Refrigeration & Air Conditioning (RAC) and Heat & Mass Transfer (HMT). Global warming is the imbalance in HMT & RAC of our Earth. In 2020 lockdown I started working on project CARBON BANK.

How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

Replaces/avoids GHGs (e.g., projects that replace sources of GHGs, such as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transport, or other energy uses), Removes/stores GHGs (e.g., projects that capture, sequester, or otherwise enhance the "sinks" that accumulate and store GHGs)

Best Estimate of GHG Avoidance/Reduction of This Project (Tonnes CO2 Equivalent/Year):

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Our target groups involves,

1.Bodaboda operators-These are young people who operates the business of ferrying people and goods for last mile connectivity while penetrating remote areas where normal vehicles could not get access.
They use fossil fuel motorbikes.
However,these motorbikes are expensive to maintain in terms of fuel and repairs making them not profitable hence the choice for Electric motorbikes which are less expensive to maintain and are Eco-Friendly.

2.Taxi Operators-Fossils fuel three wheeler tutuks has been widely used in Kenya and the region for taxi services as well as ferrying items from one point to another.Ranging in hundreds of thousands,this mode of transport is widely used for small scale logistic purposes and last mile connectivity both in Urban and Rural setup.
However,just like fossil fuel motorbikes,they are highly pollutant and costly to repair and mantain.
Our company replaces these with more Eco-friendly electric three wheeler tuktuks which are also less expensive to repair and mantain.

In general,by locally manufacturing the above products as well as retroffiting the existing fossil fuel ones,our company breaks away from the traditions around this mobility sectors by transitioning to a more environmentally friendly mobility that gears up towards the aspirations of the SDG 11 on climate actions.
We are set to convert the more than 2.6Million motorbikes already in the market to electric as well as more than 900 tuktuks in operations in Kenya.
This will include setting up solarised charging sheds and service stations spreads across the 2000 wards in Kenya.

Mission Statement:

Previously at idea/concept stage , project was under pre-incubation at TBI-KIET, Muradnagar, Ghaziabad-Meerut Road, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India(201206).
But now we have got Incubation at address of project where we run our operations.
