In many countries of Sub-Saharan Africa
energy sector planning has long been something of a
paradoxical exercise in the context of modern as opposed to
traditional fuels in the economy. Although essential to the
functioning of society, modern fuels generally account for
only 15 to 40 percent of total energy consumption. However,
since they are inseparable from modern methods of energy
transformation and use, these modern fuels absorb virtually
all investments in the energy sector. Traditional fuels, on
the other hand, although they occupy a dominant place in the
overall energy balance and in the consumption of households,
have received little in the way of planning and policy
making attention and investments. The importance of
traditional energy (fuelwood and charcoal) in terms of total
energy consumption is significant. In low-income countries
such as Burkina Faso and Ethiopia, the household sector
accounts for more than 80 percent of total energy
consumption and projections call for this rate of
consumption to continue into the 21st century. Most
traditional energy is used for household consumption
(cooking and heating) and the daily lives of rural women are
greatly influenced by its availability and use. |
