Does Ethiopia have a green legacy?

Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Despite enormous challenges in accessing sustainable energy supplies and advanced energy technologies, Ethiopia has one of the world's fastest growing economies. The development of renewable energy technology and the building of a green legacy in the country are being prioritized.

Is biomass a viable alternative energy source in Ethiopia?

The findings show that, despite Ethiopia's vast biomass resource potential, the current use of modern energy from biomass is still limited. As a result, this study supports the use of biomass-based alternative energy sources without having a negative impact on the socioeconomic system or jeopardizing food security or the environment.

What are the potential bioenergy resources of Ethiopia?

It is also one of the potential bioenergy resources of Ethiopia accumulated in cities in the form of landfills. The current global generation of waste is approximately 2.01 billion tons per year and is projected to grow to 3.4 billion tons per year by 2050 .

What is the energy potential of Ethiopia?

The approximate potential for hydropower is around 45 gigawatts (GW), for wind is 10 GW and for geothermal is 5 GW, and solar irradiation ranges from 4.5 kilowatt-hours (kWh)/m 2 /day to 7.5 kWh/m 2 /day . Only a small amount of the renewable energy potential is harnessed today. Grid electricity is the main source of modern energy in Ethiopia.

What is Ethiopia's climate-resilient green economy?

It has three complementary objectives which are: to foster economic development and growth; to ensure abatement and avoidance of future emissions; and to improve resilience to climate change (Ethiopia’s Climate-Resilient Green Economy - Green Economy Strategy 2011).

What is the main source of energy in Ethiopia?

The majority of Ethiopia's population lives in rural areas and is heavily reliant on agriculture; the primary source of energy for this rural population is biomass (biomass of wood, solid, and agricultural wastes) (Table 1), accounting for approximately 87% of total energy supply .
