The major causes of deforestation worldwide from human activities is the reliance of world population on the biomass fuel for domestic energy consumption through cooking, water boiling, heating and lighting, the usage of biomass in inefficient way increase the fuel demand for the household. Despite of multiple social economic, health and environmental benefit of improved cook stove program, the program failed to capture the recognition worldwide and a set of sociocultural, economic, institutional barriers and cook stove and fuel characteristics contribute to the slow adoption of this program. This paper provides an evidence of household driving factors that play a crucial role in the uptake of improved cook stove empirically in Rwanda. The study was based on fifth integrated household living standards survey (EICV-5) carried by National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda. Using binary logistic regression analysis, the study shows that homeownership, age of household head, household location and household size are the main significant household factors influencing the adoption of improved cook stove while value of cook stove, amount spent on cooking fuel and time spend on cooking fuels are the most significant stove and fuel factors determining the adoption of usage of improved cook stove. The study revealed that for substantially improved rate of adoption they should be consistent and focused cooperation of government and non -governmental organizations to work in parallel for developing energy policy frameworks like dissemination of improved cook stoves.

This investigation applies a multinomial logit procedure to demonstrate decisions of fuel for cooking in Rwanda. The decisions considered are five fundamental cooking fuels: wood, charcoal, gas, lamp oil and generator; Using the Integrated Household Living Condition Surveys from 2010 up to 2017 (EICVs 2010-2017) data, the study identifies the driving forces that underpin and support the household's decision of fuel for cooking and investigates the fundamental factors that decide decision of essential cooking fuel choices in Rwanda. The descriptive results showed the higher dependency on biomass cooking fuel among Rwandan households with 84.55 percent for firewood usage and 12 percent for charcoal usage for cooking and the result multinomial logit revealed that location of living arrangement, home possession, household size, type of marriage, household income level, and type of habitant play significant role in explaining the probability of cooking fuel choices within households. Further the results show that clean energy is bound to be utilized in urban families, where household with high income more often use LPG compare to others. The study also showed that main stream of household in Rwanda depend on more on non-clean energy while cooking, and this is more pronounced in rural households.

Nigeria is a country in West African region of the world blessed with enormous potential of renewable energy resources such as wind, hydro, solar, animal waste and municipal waste. Despite the availability of these energy resources in large quantity, the country is still ranked among the countries in the world with very poor access to electricity. This paper tends to suggest an approach towards solving the problem of irregular supply of electricity in Hussaini Federal Polytechnic located in Jigawa, a state in northwestern part of Nigeria. This approach involves sectionalizing the polytechnic into two sections and integrating photovoltaic energy system to an already existing utility distribution network in each of the sections. These interconnected energy sources are to be used in charging the storage systems located within each of the sections. Electricity will be supplied to the load in a particular section from the storage system located within the section, through existing distribution network in the polytechnic. The sizing of the storage system, the inverter, the charge controller and the photovoltaic array were done by normal renewable energy system calculation. From the results obtained, each of the sections will require a set of 250kW 480V hybrid inverter, twenty thousand pieces of 250W/24V photovoltaic panels and 2,798.5kWh battery capacity.

The fluctuating fossil fuel price in the global energy sector and environmental destruction that comes with such fuels have paved ways for alternative fuels. Renewable hydrogen fuel is one of those alternatives which have generated massive interest in the world of renewable energy due to its unique property as a fuel-free of any pollutant. Biochemical conversion of waste materials of biomass origin to hydrogen is a sustainable technique for hydrogen production. Glycerol, a waste obtained during biodiesel manufacturing process has been found to be a suitable feedstock for hydrogen production using PF processes. The present work reviewed literature related to the PF process of glycerol to hydrogen. In the process, a methodical comparative study of recently available research reports on renewable hydrogen production as fuel from glycerol through PF was employed. The review emphasizes the challenges bedeviling PF of hydrogen from glycerol and suggested solutions to that effect with future recommendations on potential research areas needed to be undertaken to improve the process.

Energy influences the livelihood of human beings in different aspects like food security, agricultural production, health care system, education, employment and sustainability of the environment. Ethiopia faces big challenge in both supply and access to energy in which majority of its rural population live without access to energy. Production of bioenergy is a good opportunity to get access to modern energy in developing countries like Ethiopia where traditional biomass energy is the dominant source of energy. In addition to creation of employment and being source of energy, bioenergy production has multiple advantages in agriculture and food security sector since the bio-slurry is used as organic fertilizer. The study shows that bioenergy production increased the income and thereby increased access to food for the rural households in Ethiopia. This resulted in food security as both quantity and quality of food increases along with the expansion of bioenergy production in the rural community. The result also shows that the increase in household income was from savings resulted in less purchase of other energy sources (kerosene, charcoal, firewood, etc.), increase in agricultural productivity using bio-slurry, and increase in employment in bioenergy sector. Having production potential, it needs to expand bioenergy production to ensure energy and food security in the rural population.

Protecting the environment from all types of pollution is a key issue, especially air pollution in particular, because of that, the ecosystem as a whole is under threat. Sudan is one of the vast African countries, covering an area of about one million square miles, and suffering from air pollution. One of the causes of this pollution is the large number of cars and factories that use gasoline. Car exhausts and factory nozzles emit kinds of gases such as carbon monoxide, lead, sulfur and other gases that contribute to air pollution. Due to the large volume of use of gasoline in cars and factories, the low quality of purification and treatment leads to the production of gases that are extremely harmful to the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to examine and determine the components of benzene used in Sudan. The technique of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy was used to characterize the benzene samples taken from different regions, and the results showed that they contain carbon and hydrogen that are the main component of benzene, in addition many elements harmful to the environment such as (Pb, Hg and Zn), which can cause cancer diseases, and can also cause great harms to animals, plants and soil.

Impacts of land use/cover change on water resources are the result of complex interactions between diverse site-specific factors and offsite conditions; standardized types of responses will rarely be adequate. The knowledge of how land use/cover change influence watershed hydrology will enable local governments and policy makers to formulate and implement effective and appropriate response strategies to minimize the undesirable effects of future land use/cover change or modifications. In this research SWAT model was used for analyzing the land use and land cover change of the watershed and its impact on reservoir sedimentation. The main objective of the research was to model the hydrological processes that will predict the impact of land use/cover changes on soil erosion and sedimentation in the Omo-gibe basin. In this paper the influence of land use changes on catchment’s sediment yield is observed. The delineated watershed was divided into 62 sub basins and 372 HRUs by the model. Model calibration and validation was done at Abelti station. In addition to this the model efficiency was checked at this station. Based on this values for coefficient of determination (r²), Nash–Sutcliffe model efficiency (NSE) and percentage of bias (PBIAS) were found to be in the acceptable range for 1990 and 2010 land use land cover maps in both calibration and validation period. To analyze the impact of land use change on sediment yield different comparison criteria were applied. The first was selecting sub basins having higher sediment yield and found around the main course of the river. The second was selecting and analyzing sub basins having lower sediment yield and the third criterion was based on availability of varied land use classes specially sub basins covered by forest land. While analyzing the impact of land use/cover in all criteria using 1990 and 2010 land use/cover map, it shows an increase in sediment yield. SWAT estimated the sediment yield from the watershed to the reservoir for both 1990 and 2010 land use/cover maps. Therefore 1.1 M tons annual sediment load was entered to the reservoir during 1990 and 1.3 M tons annual sediment load was entered to the reservoir during 2010 land use/cover data. This shows that there is 16.57% increment of sediment yield in 2010 as compared to 1990 land use/cover data.
土地利用/覆被变化对水资源的影响是不同场址特定因素和场外条件复杂相互作用的结果;标准化类型的反应很少是足够的。了解土地利用/覆盖变化如何影响流域水文将使地方政府和决策者能够制定和执行有效和适当的应对战略，以尽量减少未来土地利用/覆盖变化或修改的不良影响。本研究采用SWAT模型分析了流域土地利用和土地覆被变化及其对水库沉积的影响。这项研究的主要目的是模拟水文过程，以预测Omo-gibe流域土地利用/覆盖变化对土壤侵蚀和沉积的影响。本文研究了土地利用变化对流域产沙量的影响。该模型将流域划分为62个子流域和372个hru。模型标定和验证在Abelti站完成。除此之外，还在该站对模型效率进行了检查。基于该决定系数(r²)的值，发现Nash-Sutcliffe模型效率(NSE)和偏差百分比(PBIAS)在1990年和2010年土地利用土地覆盖图的校准和验证期内都在可接受的范围内。为了分析土地利用变化对产沙量的影响，采用了不同的比较标准。第一步是选择主要河道周围产沙量较大的子流域。第二个标准是选择和分析产沙量较低的子流域，第三个标准是根据各种土地利用类别的可用性，特别是森林覆盖的子流域。利用1990年和2010年的土地利用/覆被图对各指标进行影响分析时，显示出产沙量的增加。SWAT在1990年和2010年的土地利用/覆被图中估算了从流域到水库的产沙量。因此，1990年的年输沙量为1.1 M t, 2010年土地利用/覆被数据的年输沙量为1.3 M t。与1990年的土地利用/覆被数据相比，2010年的产沙量增加了16.57%。

Based on this values for coefficient of determination (r²), Nash–Sutcliffe model efficiency (NSE) and percentage of bias (PBIAS) were found to be in the acceptable range for 1990 and 2010 land use land cover maps in both calibration and validation period. To analyze the impact of land use change on sediment yield different comparison criteria were applied. The first was selecting sub basins having higher sediment yield and found around the main course of the river. The second was selecting and analyzing sub basins having lower sediment yield and the third criterion was based on availability of varied land use classes specially sub basins covered by forest land. While analyzing the impact of land use/cover in all criteria using 1990 and 2010 land use/cover map, it shows an increase in sediment yield. SWAT estimated the sediment yield from the watershed to the reservoir for both 1990 and 2010 land use/cover maps. Therefore 1.1 M tons annual sediment load was entered to the reservoir during 1990 and 1.3 M tons annual sediment load was entered to the reservoir during 2010 land use/cover data. This shows that there is 16.57% increment of sediment yield in 2010 as compared to 1990 land use/cover data.","PeriodicalId":208155,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Modern Energy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130104538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
