Objective
- To assess the contribution which biomass based electricity and heat generation could make in decentralised areas in Egypt and Morocco to the creation of jobs and hence an improvement of living standards.
Expected Outcome
- Maps of the theoretical and realisable potential biomass supply in Morocco and Egypt, taking due account of the socio-economic context;
- Identification and techno-economic assessment of the most suitable biomass conversion technologies (electricity production);
- Estimation of the impact on income and job generation of biomass based energy production in decentralised regions of Egypt and Morocco, also considering the improvement of living standard made possible by the availability of bio-energy;
- These "products" will be of general value as similar situations are likely to exist in all Mediterranean countries.
- Assessment of existing biomass supply in the region through geographical tabulation of the biomass potential in Egypt and Morocco, focus on agricultural wastes/by-products;
- Identification of the potential to establish dedicated biomass plantations in so called energy farms (ecological and socio-economic constraints);
- Collection of socio-economic data for the decentralised areas of these countries;
- Evaluation of the available biomass-to-energy conversion technologies and identification of those best adapted to the given biomass supply situation identified before (biomass quantity and quality to be taken into account as well as environmental impact);
- Site selection in the analysed regions for a potential application of biomass technologies and estimation of the potential impact on job creation and improvement of living standards.
