"Generating Alternative Energy From Biomass..."
Zambia suffers a serious energy deficiency- 400MWT is required to avert the current excruciating power shortages resulting in the load shading exercises carried out by the utility company. Individual and Institutional consumers alike experience massive losses from power cuts... 
It is here that EBFI proposes the generation of supplementary energy using environmentally friendly and cheaper sources. The country produces huge deposits of garbage- industrial, agricultural, domestic waste- enough to allow the installation of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Incineration plants to boost the energy supply!
Bio-Mass Energy
This is the use of waste produce from saw dust, agricultural waste, agricultural products, industrial waste, household garbage, and grass to produce clean and renewable energy- with the economic befits of carbon credits. Conventional straw power plants designed with furnace, steam boiler and turbine generator adapted for such resources can be used for small to medium sized power generation plants.
Bio-Liquid Energy
ReplyDeleteThis is the use of jatropha seed, commercial waste oils and waste cooking oils to produce clean and renewable energy. Jatropha curcas plant Oil is categorized as a second generation bio fuel, not being in conflict with the food chain. The Jatropha tree produces fruit in the form of a 'nut shell' containing oil rich grains, typically 3 per shell. Industry benchmark targets extraction of 40% crude vegetable oil from the grain and 2,000 kgs oil per hectare. Click here for the EBFI Bio Position Statement.
