Abstract

Biomass has emerged as an important and promising energy source, particularly in developing countries, owing to continuous research for sustainable energy sources that do not interfere with food, water or land needs. This study introduces the surplus availability factor (SAF), minimum, average and maximum biogas production technique in the assessment of crop production data in 2020 to provide a more precise and current estimate of Cameroon's crop residue and municipal solid waste (MSW) bioenergy potential. Crop residues contributed roughly 96% while MSW contributed the remaining 4% of the total bioenergy potential of 606 PJ per year. The bioenergy potential was calculated using crop production statistics derived from the FAOSTAT database of the Food and Agriculture Organization, while the residue-to-product ratio (RPR) and surplus availability factors (SAF) were found from related studies. The study concludes that crop residues and MSW have significant energy potential capable of meeting the country's electricity, transport fuel and biogas demand while simultaneously mitigating climate change through the capture of about 1.6 billion kg of CO2 through biogas recovery. It also highlights the lack of accurate and up-to-date data on the country's biomass potential and recommends ground data collection and geospatial mapping of areas with enormous potential for these resources to guide policymakers and investment plans.

喀麦隆农作物残茬和城市固体废物的生物能源潜力
特别是在发展中国家,由于不断研究不干扰粮食、水或土地需要的可持续能源,生物质已成为一种重要和有前途的能源。本研究在2020年作物生产数据评估中引入了剩余可用系数(SAF)、最小、平均和最大沼气生产技术,以提供对喀麦隆作物残渣和城市固体废物(MSW)生物能源潜力的更精确和最新的估计。农作物秸秆贡献了大约96%,而城市生活垃圾贡献了每年606 PJ生物能源潜力的剩余4%。生物能源潜力利用来自粮农组织FAOSTAT数据库的作物生产统计数据计算,剩余产品比(RPR)和剩余可利用因子(SAF)通过相关研究得到。该研究的结论是,农作物秸秆和城市生活垃圾具有巨大的能源潜力,能够满足该国的电力、运输燃料和沼气需求,同时通过沼气回收捕获约16亿公斤二氧化碳,减缓气候变化。报告还强调缺乏关于该国生物质潜力的准确和最新数据,并建议收集地面数据和绘制这些资源潜力巨大的地区的地理空间地图,以指导政策制定者和投资计划。
