Improved Cookstoves Benefits
• Large domestic fuel savings
• Reduced health risk due to indoor air pollution
• Prevents deforestation and desertification
• Improves livelihoods and gender equity
• Temperature retention
cooking bag
• Reduces cooking fuel
consumption by 30%
• Locally manufactured
• Improves quality of
life
- Goal: one product in every Senegalese household
- Building market infrastructure for products
- Resource sharing between projects
- Domestic manufacturing and assembly
- Sound partnership and community level involvement
- Affordable price point to allow BoP communities to access all product
“Eco” Product line
What We need: EcoBloc
• The third leg to our “eco” line is a densified cooking fuel using
agricultural waste and forest residues.
• Multiple feed stocks available for process.
• Proven technology and obvious environmental benefits
• Can undercut charcoal prices by 40%
• Synchronize with existing product line for market access and
adaptability.
• Equity investment for first installation- 2500 ton/year facility.
Startup capital cost of project =$225,000
Concept- Typha Bioenergy 1 MW electricity
Feedstock Yield (t/ha) Maturity
Typha 14.7 90 days
Switchgrass 9.1-13.5 3 years
Willow 7-10 3 years
Wheat Straw 1.8-2.4 90-100 days
Corn Stover 5.1 110-120 days
Flax residue 1.2 100-110 days
• Over 140,000 tons of accessible low depth Typha
in St. Louis region equals > a possible 70 MWe
• SVA plans a anaerobic digestion facility for 1MWe
• For one MWe 2000 ha of sustainably harvested
typha is required
• Harvest of ≥ 15 tons/ ha = 30,000 tons/annum
• High energy content of 16.3-17.8 MJ/kg
(comparable to wood chips)
Potential for Typha in Senegal- Comparison to Popular Biomass
Energy Sources
Implementing Partners
Netley-Libau Nutrient-Bioenergy Project- IISD and University of Manitoba
• 7 years of research specializing nutrient equilibrium and phosphorus removal though
typha in marshland ecosystems
• 4 years sustainably harvested Typha for bioenergy (gasification, bio-char and anaerobic
digestion)
Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute
• Expertise in bioenergy technology development
• Custom built typha harvest/ anaerobic digestion equipment
Socio-economic and Environmental Impacts
1) Bioenergy production
2) Nutrient removal
3) Carbon credits
4) Phosphorus recovery
Example: Project Finances per MWe Start-up Costs - 3,600,000
Harvesting and transportation equipment :=15%
Engineering and works: =18%
CHP: =19%
Technology: =22%
Plant infrastructure: =26%
Annual Operating Costs - $710,000
Plant management =7%
Labor =25%
Transportation/harvesting fuel =33%
Maintenance =35%
Revenue
Assumed .18/kwh feed in tariff
with annual output of 7884 mwh =1,419,120
Potential Fertilizer Revenue (year 2) =80,000+
*Total: =$1,499,120
*exclusive of potential carbon revenues
Earnings Before Tax and Interest
year 1- =709, 120
year 2- (incl. fertilizer revenue) =789, 120
