- Is biomass a viable source of energy in Rwanda?
- In rural areas, the reliance on biomass is over 90%. Most Rwandans live in rural areas where traditional biomass, mainly wood fuel has remained the leading source of energy for cooking. However, the potential of biomass has not been effectively utilized in the provision of modern energy for a variety of reasons.
- What is the energy sector in Rwanda?
- The energy sector in Rwanda is made up of three sub-sectors: power, hydrocarbon and new and renewable sources of energy. Amongst the renewable sources of energy are biomass, solar, peat, wind, geothermal and hydropower. Biomass is the most used and dominates both the demand and supply sides of the Rwandan economy.
- What type of energy is used in Rwanda?
- Biomass is the most used and dominates both the demand and supply sides of the Rwandan economy. The current national energy balance of 86, 11 and 3 per cent of all energy consumed is used in the form of biomass, hydrocarbons and electricity, respectively. This is shown in figure 2.
- How much energy does biomass use?
- The current national energy balance statistics show that biomass (mostly wood fuel) accounts for about 83% of the total energy consumption, followed by petroleum at 9.7%, electricity at 1.3% and others at about less than 0,5%. In rural areas, the reliance on biomass is over 90%.
