Climate benefits from alternative energy uses of biomass plantations in Uganda

Modeling economic and carbon consequences of a shift to wood-based energy in a rural ‘cluster’; a network analysis in southeast Alaska

“…Various tools have been used to account for community energy decisions, specifically lifecycle analysis (Zanchi et al, 2013), ecological footprint, energy analysis (e.g. Buchholz and Da Silva, 2010), and triple bottom line accounting (Rogers and Ryan, 2001).…”

Appraising Bioenergy Alternatives in Uganda Using Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT)-Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and a Desirability Functions Approach

“…The municipality is the second largest urban settlement in Uganda, with an estimated population of 150,000 inhabitants [37]. The majority of households rely on charcoal and firewood as the main sources of domestic energy, but the biomass resources in the area are being extracted faster than the rate of replenishment [38]. A study by Drigo [8] indicated that the municipality currently experiences a net deficit of fuel wood resources.…”

Emission balances of first -and second- generation biofuels: Case studies from Africa, Mexico and Indonesia

“…For a production system targeting an annual wood supply of 30 t d.m., Zanchi et al (2011) assume that the coppice used could have either a productivity rate of 5 t d.m./ha/a on an area of 6 ha or a productivity rate of 15 t d.m./ha/a on an area of 2 ha. They suggest total annual emissions from cultivation of 1014 kg CO 2 -eq for the low-productivity option and 415 kg CO 2 -eq for the high-productivity option.…”

“…Wood is assumed to be taken from short rotation coppices, as described in Zanchi et al (2011). These coppices are assumed to be located in northern Uganda and composed of Eucalyptus grandis with a 6-year rotation and replanting every third rotation.…”
