Coconut Oil Proposal
Target Village: Narukunibua, Fiji Current Energy: Diesel Proposal: Use Coconut Oil

Narukunibua, Fiji
![Page 6: First General Meeting October 2, 2008. Agenda Mission Statement Fiji Project Overview Coconut Oil Progress Micro Hydro Potential Biodiesel Outreach Fundraising](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d4e5503460f94a2cfe9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Problem Statement
Village runs off of diesel fuel shipped from Australia
Expensive: Can only run a few hours a day
Village wants more energy

Experiment
Try reading with the lights off Try reading with the lights on We all live the way we do because
of energy

Overall Process

Energy Balance

Enough Coconuts?
50 acre plantation available 52 palms/acre, 60 nuts per tree 0.2 L/nut = 31,200 L/yr We need 300 L/month Can produce 31,200 L/yr

Economics
Lets say we buy coconut oil $1.30 Fiji/L Oil $6 Fiji/L Diesel Close to 80% Savings $940 US per month Per capita 1% salary increase

Micro Hydro
Definition: Micro hydro is hydroelectric power generation up to 300kW
Fall Term Goals: Create a proposal for Micro hydro in
Narukunibua, Fiji. In December, validate both coconut oil
and Micro Hydro proposals (Site Assessment trip)

Turbines
Impulse turbines Pelton wheel, Turgo wheel
Used at medium to high head
Reaction turbines Kaplan turbine, Banki turbine
Used at medium to low head
