Cotton Footprint: transitioning the carbon intensive cotton and textiles industry to renewable infrastructure through a whole supply chain approach

合作为巴基斯坦农村社区提供负担得起的能源解决方案，这些社区是全球棉花供应的农业和生产的组成部分。负担得起的清洁能源农场（ACE-Farm）是一个新颖的嵌入式计划，旨在通过时尚品牌，纺织品制造商和清洁棉花网络的投资来重新分配资本，以减少其自身碳消费的影响。该项目将继续由英国能源管理公司Pilio和巴基斯坦能源基础设施公司SAMA^Verte在Energy Catalyst 8资助的可行性研究下开展的工作。在这一延续项目中，我们将展示旨在为巴基斯坦1000万棉花工人提供清洁和负担得起的能源的经济模式。我们的重点是通过一系列生态系统服务创造乘数效应，包括家庭能源获取，工业棉花农场（轧棉厂）的生产能源，以及使微型企业能够提供能源服务和创造新市场。在这个项目中，Pilio将开发我们的技术平台，该平台将衡量品牌在碳减排和可负担的能源吸收方面的投资，以及包括投资回报率在内的经济方面。该项目将与世界自然基金会巴基斯坦和全球可持续发展专家Better Cotton密切合作。作为能源解决方案提供商或考虑插入棉花供应链的时尚零售或制造公司，请通过[catherine@piliogroup.com][0]联系Catherine Bottrill。[0]：mailto:catherine@piliohroup.com网站

A collaboration to deliver affordable energy solutions in rural Pakistan communities who are integral to the farming and production of global cotton supplies. The Affordable Clean Energy Farm (ACE-Farm) is a novel insetting scheme that aims to redistribute capital via investments by fashion brands, textiles manufacturers and clean cotton networks to reduce the impact of their own carbon consumption. This project will continue the work delivered by UK energy management company, Pilio, and Pakistan energy infrastructure company, SAMA^Verte, under an Energy Catalyst 8 funded feasibility study. Within this continuation project, we will demonstrate the economic model that aims to bring clean and affordable energy access to Pakistan's 10m cotton workers. Our focus is on creating a multiplier effect via a range of ecosystem services, including household energy access, productive energy on industrial cotton farms (ginners) and enabling micro-enterprises to offer energy services and create new markets. Within this project Pilio will develop our technology platform, that measures the investment brands make in terms of carbon reduction and affordable energy uptake, as well as economic terms including ROI. This project will be delivered in close working partnership with WWF Pakistan and global sustainability experts, Better Cotton. To participate in the project as an energy solution provider or as a fashion retail or manufacturing company thinking about insetting the cotton supply chain, contact Catherine Bottrill on [catherine@piliogroup.com][0].[0]: mailto:catherine@piliohroup.com
