Abstract

The objective of this study is to estimate the carbon dioxide (CO2) released by domestic energy (firewood and charcoal) in the urban commune of Koulikoro, Mali. This study employed questionnaire survey to identify the type of energies used, their costs, the quantity consumed, and the difficulties of access to these energies and their impact on natural resources in Koulikoro. The consumption of each family per neighbourhood was extrapolated to its total population to determine the carbon emitted and the carbon dioxide released. Thus, the carbon dioxide emitted in tonnes per neighbourhood was determined. The findings revealed three types of energy in the urban commune of Koulikoro, mainly firewood 72%, charcoal 25% and Gas 3%. The use of these energy sources depends on accessibility and availability. The increase in consumption per district is a function of the number of people. Daily used charcoal was estimated at 2 kg day-1 and 7 kg day-1 for firewood. Overall, average firewood using was highest in largest household size and it was 62% higher than in small size category which recorded the lowest. Annual amount of charcoal used was 676 kg year-1 and 2294 kg year-1 for firewood. However, annual amount of fuelwood per person was higher in small size category and 178% greater than in largest household group than other household size. Carbon consumption per capita per year was greater in small household group estimate to be 477 kg pns-1 year-1. Thus, the urban commune of Koulikoro has a significant carbon dioxide emission and firewood emits more CO2 than charcoal.

国内能源消耗及其对温室气体排放的贡献:西非马里苏达诺-萨赫勒地区库里科罗城市社区的启示
本研究的目的是估算马里库里科罗城市社区家庭能源(木柴和木炭)释放的二氧化碳(CO2)。这项研究采用问卷调查的方式,以确定库里科罗使用的能源类型、成本、消耗量、获取这些能源的困难及其对自然资源的影响。将每个社区每个家庭的能源消耗推算到其总人口,以确定碳排放量和二氧化碳排放量。因此,确定了每个居民区以吨为单位的二氧化碳排放量。研究结果表明,库里科罗城市社区使用三种能源,其中木柴占 72%,木炭占 25%,煤气占 3%。这些能源的使用取决于可获得性和可用性。每个地区消费量的增加与人口数量有关。据估计,木炭的日使用量为 2 公斤/天,木柴为 7 公斤/天。总体而言,规模最大的家庭平均木柴使用量最高,比规模最小的家庭高出 62%。木炭的年使用量为 676 公斤/年,木柴的年使用量为 2294 公斤/年。然而,与其他家庭规模相比,小规模家庭的人均薪材年用量更高,比最大家庭组高 178%。据估计,小规模家庭组的人均碳消耗量为每年 477 千克 pns-1。因此,库里科罗城市社区的二氧化碳排放量很大,木柴比木炭排放更多的二氧化碳。
