Energy Sector Management Assistance
Programme (ESMAP) technical paper series;no. 085 |
| description |
The problems facing the fuel wood sector
in Nicaragua can be summarized as follows: First, almost all
harvest or production is based on non-sustainable forestry,
with little or no regulation or enforcement of wood cutting
laws, no incentives for conservation and no long-term
supply-side planning. Second, almost all fuel wood is
consumed by users in low efficiency stoves or kilns, and no
demand-side management efforts have been carried out.
Although wood is the major energy source and forest product
of Nicaragua, and strongly linked to the lives of the poor,
there appears to be no government agency charged with the
planning and modernization of this sector. The present ESMAP
technical assistance activity strongly emphasizes the role
of the private sector in improved stoves dissemination. Its
expected outcomes were: 1) useful knowledge gained by small
private stoves producers of more efficient, less polluting
stoves designs, 2) considerably heightened public awareness
of the health impacts of traditional open fire stoves used
in typical closed kitchens, and hence appreciation of the
health benefits of improved stoves; and 3) reduction of
indoor pollution where feasible through promotion of the use
of high efficiency stoves equipped with chimneys that vent
emissions outside the house. The technical assistance
activity would catalyze the commercialization of improved
cookstoves in Nicaragua by improving the understanding of
consumer preferences, developing an effective dissemination
strategy, selecting financially viable high-efficiency
models which satisfy consumer preferences, training and
supporting private entrepreneurs to manufacture and sell the
stoves in a financially sustainable manner, and supporting
development of credit networks for stove purchases. The
specific objectives were to improve the kitchen and
household environment, reduce indoor pollution and lower
cooking costs. Further, the project would support the
efficient use of fuel wood and, thus, help to protect
biomass resources. |
