Target practices/technologies to be scaled up in target agro-ecological zones (cattle corridor) -> Efficient kilns for charcoal production

Demonstrations: 100 units; Established with incentives 500 units: Established voluntarily through advice 50 units.

 

Planned Outcomes of the UGGDS (Table 10: Results Framework)

In the Area of “Supports the promotion of renewable energy investments and sustainable use other energy sources” -> Outcome for Resource use efficiency:

Biomass energy – domestic per capita consumption reduced by 50%, Energy efficiency for charcoal and brick kilns increased by 200%. Savings in wood supply per year – savings of 23.6 million tonnes of wood per year

 

Fuel wood is consumed at about 28 million tonnes/year of tree biomass and another 16 million tonnes of wood are annually are transformed into 1.8 million tonnes of charcoal using inefficient kilns
