E N D
PROJECTOBJECTIVES (1) Global Objective: To reduce GHG (Carbon dioxide) emission to atmosphere through the promotion of bioenergy in rural areas leading to sustainable development
PROJECTOBJECTIVES (2) National: • To enhance the share of renewable energy in the total energy generated • To develop decentralised bio-energy technology for quality rural energy services • To remove barriers to large scale adoption and commercialization of bioenergy technology packages Local: • To provide reliable, timely and qualitatively superior and affordable energy services to the village population to enhance income-earning opportunities
Project Strategy • Technology package standardization • Bio-energy system demo and proof of concept • Capacity building to overcome institutional barriers • Enabling activities to overcome market barriers • Information dissemination to overcome information barriers • Removal of financial barriers
Project components • Biomass gasifier systems • Community bio-gas systems • Biomass development • Information dissemination • Community organisation • Capacity building • Rural livelihood • Entrepreneurship development
