Abstract

Ethiopia has been disseminating biogas technology as an alternative renewable energy source to reduce excessive dependence on traditional biomass. Despite its potential, only a small percentage of (0.8%) of the potential households are benefiting from domestic biogas. There is limited empirical evidence concerning both its adoption and the overall contribution of the technology in Arbaminch Zuria Woreda.

Abstract

Globally, around 1.06 billion people still do not have access to electricity, and most are living in sub-Saharan Africa and developing Asia. Off-grid renewable energy solutions have arisen as a mainstream solution to expand access to modern energy services. The purpose of this study was to assess the role of a solar home system to socioeconomic development and reduction of greenhouse gas emission in rural kebele of Gesha wereda, southern, Ethiopia. From the total population, a survey was conducted with a structured questionnaire for 229 households that were systematically selected from three rural kebeles which were selected purposively.

Abstract

Energy is an essential part of our daily life, often taken for granted by populations which enjoy the comforts of modern society.

Abstract

There is a large amount of Banana bunch and Banana peel wastes that distribute throughout the city of Addis Ababa and simply dump and pollute the environment. This study aimed to produce and characterize briquettes from wastes of the banana bunch and banana peel as well as determining fuelwood substitution by estimating the energy potential of the briquettes.

Abstract

In our countries plenty of projects and initiatives have been working to disseminate efficient cleaned burning improved cook stove and solar energy which have economic, social and environmental benefits.  To this end, understanding factors affecting adoption of improved cook stoves and solar energy technology plays a key role.
