BIO - ELECTRICITYIN RURAL AREASTANZANIA

• Prepared by Kitomondo-Plantation
• For the Tanzania Government

The bio-electricity project

• The KITOMONDO-PLANTATION Ltd prepared a six year
  project for a Learning Demo Farm, producing
  BIO-Oil for generator (and tractors) in poor
  rural areas, with a detailed working program
• The proposed project is here drafted for the main
  points as base for a deep discussion with the
  government departments
• The results obtained in this project could be of
  much help in the definition of a government
  strategy and policy on this new agriculture and
  environmental business

The full cycle

• Oil crops production(jatropha and honge for oil
  moringa as fertilizer neem as pesticide)
• Bio-oil production
• Electricity production through adapted diesel
  engines
• Bio-oil as fuel for adapted tractors
• By products utilization (substitute charcoal)

6
Dissemination of know how, knowledge and best
practices

• Permanent learning school on site for 20 people
  per two week course (500 person per year)
• Easy reading leaflets for villagers
• Technical reports
• Seeds, plants and equipment available on site

7
Personnel required

• 1 chair
• 12 management staff (accountant, agronomist,
  mechanical engineers, safety, environment, PR)
• 3 teachers
• 20 workers for cultivation
• 5 workers for oil production
• 3 drivers
• 6 guards
• 11 general services
• TOTAL 61

Timing

• 6 years in total (7th for final reporting)
• From time zero personnel selection, contracts
  with diesel engine companies, land preparation,
  seeds selection, infrastructures, machinery
  purchase.
• From 1st y engine modification and adaptation to
  SVO
• Form 3 rd y harvesting, oil prod, testing with
  engine on site
• From 5 th y complete cycle testing
• 4-5-6 th ys learning school courses (500 per
  year,in total 1500 persons)
• 7 th y final reporting

Expected benefits

• Short term availability of electricity in all
  rural areas of Tanzania
• Short term robust development of poor areas
• Low intensity investment required
• Zero CO2 emission cycle
• No food competition
• Support to agriculture with pumping water and
  tractors
• Availability of charcoal without deforestation
• No need for large infrastructures
• Stopping urbanization
• Utilization of poor useless land
• Zero short and long term impact on environment
• Preparing the future for Tanzania as bio-oil
  export country

11
Conclusions

• Jatropha, Honge (Moringa and Neem) as new energy
  source
• Short term result development of poor area
  through village scale units for electricity
  production and agriculture machinery
• Medium term result make Tanzania independent
  from oil import
• Long term result make Tanzania a bio-oil export
  country
