what are the problems faced in the use of charcoal??
Answers
Answer:
Charcoal production is a very inefficient process, particularly with the traditional methods. It does not make much sense to waste energy, not even if it is traditional, indigenous, and renewable
Explanation:
This would be accompanied by measures to increase efficiency of fuel distribution and use within the city and by price and tax reforms.
Causes of the woodfuel crisis
Demand for woodfuels in Chad, some 2.4 million tons in 1990, is expected to reach 4.0 million tons by 2010, with the majority of the being pre increase coming from the urban sector. The projections are of particular concern around N'Djamena, where woodfuel reserves are depleted and the environment is threatened by desertification. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that most urban households cannot afford to purchase modern energy products such as electricity, kerosene, and liquefied petroleum gas.
Toward a village-based strategy
An efficient and environmentally sustainable energy strategy for households emphasizes village-level control and sale of woodfuels as a key to transferring responsibility for developing and exploiting forest resources from the state to local populations. This will allow villages to manage woodfuel resources in their local catchment areas, with technical assistance in sustainable, woodfuel, harvesting practices.
On the urban side of the equation, the project would design and implement an effective distribution system for woodfuel, and strengthen the local capacity to promote production of improved woodfuel stoves by the private sector and substitution by kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas.
