Website design By BotEap.comIs fossil fuel still dependent on our main source of energy?

Website design By BotEap.com1. As we all know, fuel reserves are finite and soon the world will run out completely. Unfortunately, this possibility is becoming more and more likely and will create very serious difficulties in everyone’s life, especially for people in developing countries.

Website design By BotEap.com2. Fuel prices are rising. As the volatile Middle East continues to affect global oil supplies, countries like Uganda are surprised by the costs of importing heavy oil. Fossil crude oil prices hit $100, this is combined with the erratic and rising dollar exchange rate (at last month’s high dollar rate this translates to sh230,000) per barrel this year and is expected to reach the mark of 150 $ (345 000 sh) in two years. .

Website design By BotEap.com4. The fact that the electricity coverage of the grid in Uganda and other developing countries is only less than 5% is a blessing in disguise. This opens the opportunity for better exploitation of energy sources.

Website design By BotEap.com5. New power generation, monitoring and control technologies based on distributed rather than centralized power generation are the key to future power in developing countries.

Website design By BotEap.com6. Millions of local renewable energy producers can potentially produce much more distributed energy than the old less efficient centralized forms of energy generation and distribution, using hydro, oil, coal, natural gas and nuclear that cannot be successfully implemented in countries Developing.

Website design By BotEap.com7. Firewood is the most common cooking fuel in developing countries.

Website design By BotEap.com8. Indoor air pollution and other health problems result in a high number of deaths.

Website design By BotEap.com9. Cooking over an open fire every day, in the confines of a ventless kitchen, has been compared to smoking five packs of cigarettes a day.

Website design By BotEap.com10. The WHO estimates that more than 1.6 million people die annually from “indoor air pollution.”

Website design By BotEap.com11. Forest clearing endangers girls who go farther and farther to collect firewood from dwindling forest cover.

Website design By BotEap.com12. Desertification resulting from clearing forests for firewood, burning coal, etc. it destroys the climate and brings the desert closer to us.

Website design By BotEap.com13. Emerging research highlights black carbon (or soot) from cooking fires in developing countries as a major contributor to global warming. Second only to carbon dioxide (40%), black carbon represents 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Website design By BotEap.com14. Replacing traditional cooking fires in developing countries with clean stoves is seen as a “quick fix” that gives nations in the developing world time to get CO2 under control. Since black carbon only stays in the atmosphere for a few weeks (unlike carbon dioxide, which stays for years). Clean burning stoves would have a dramatic impact, eliminating the heating effects of black carbon almost immediately.

Website design By BotEap.com16. Each of the biofuel stoves saves an average of 1 ton of carbon emissions per year.

Website design By BotEap.com17. Two mature Jatropha trees absorb 1 ton of carbon per year.

Website design By BotEap.com18. Carbon credits are tradable on the stock market at about $40 per ton.

Website design By BotEap.com19. A plot of one hectare of 2 x 2 m admits 1000 trees.

Website design By BotEap.com20. The oil extracted from half an acre of jatropha can meet the cooking fuel needs of a family of 6 for one year.

Website design By BotEap.com21. Each mature tree (five years old) gives 3 to 6 kg of seed per year.

Website design By BotEap.com22. These benefits can fund a jatropha/vegetable oil project and deliver affordable cookstoves to the end user.

Website design By BotEap.com23. Jatropha, a drought-resistant perennial crop with a lifespan of more than 40 years, is a member of the Europhobiaceace family. Its seeds can produce about 37% inedible oil.

Website design By BotEap.com24. The global biodiesel market is estimated to reach 37 billion gallons by 2016, with an average annual growth of 42%.

Website design By BotEap.com25. The UN special rapporteur on the right to food recently recommended jatropha as a biofuel crop for developing countries. Jatropha was recommended due to its high inedible oil content, gestation period, and ability to grow in degraded soils.

Website design By BotEap.com26. Developing countries need to invest in biofuel production because, with climate change, the world’s energy policies will change for the worse.

Website design By BotEap.com27. Uganda can excel in biodiesel production since most of the people earn their income from agriculture. Jatropha offers enormous potential to alleviate poverty and improve health. A farmer can earn up to $250 (sh427,500) per year from a 1 km jatropha hedge.
