About 1.6 billion people worldwide depend on fuel-based lighting because they do not have access to the electric grid, usually burning kerosene for light in different types of lanterns. An amazing 77 billion liters of kerosene are burned every year for lighting, resulting in emissions of 190 Million tons of CO2 yearly. Besides being a very inefficient light source, kerosene lighting is expensive, dangerous and poses a health hazard for its users.
Wolfgang Gregor, Chief Sustainability Officer, summed it up at the inauguration ceremony: OSRAM has recognized this problem and is providing a viable solution, a perfect example of the fusion between corporate responsibility and sound business addressing the triple bottom line. We are proud to be the first lighting manufacturer in the world to offer a sustainable lighting solution for regions without power supply networks.
