Impact

The impact of adapt on the reduction of global GHG emissions depends on the number of recurrent users (share with your neighbours!) and the amount of electricity reduced/shifted (e.g. heating, electric car, washing machine, etc.). Since fossil power plants are still used in the world as "back-up power plants", shifting "marginal" consumption makes it easier to close down the most polluting plants. As an example, with 100,000 households (electric heating or air conditioning and 25% electric cars) using adapt daily in Europe, we can close down a medium-sized fossil power plant still in operation (~500 MW), starting with coal!
