| dc.description | Around two-thirds of the population currently have access to some form of electricity in Côte d’Ivoire, but this share reduces to one in three households in rural areas. The Government of the country is interested in understanding which bioenergy supply chains could be viable for the production of electricity from off grid solutions in rural areas. The case study illustrates the steps required to determine if a series of biomass based value chains can be established to produce electricity in rural areas. The biomass chains considered in this case study are those of crop and woody residues for the generation of electricity through combustion and gasification technology. The case study begins with setting out current policies and the country context, and then analyses the availability of biomass. Once the biomass available is estimated, a techno-economic analysis of electricity from gasification and combustions of these residues is carried out. These technologies are compared to the standard off grid option of diesel powered generators. | |
