Wood waste as an energy source in Ghana.
1978
Powell, J. W.
The wood waste available to provide energy as firewood and charcoal represents a very large resource in Ghana: the quantity of wood involved could well total some 8.7 million m3. The potential power output of these wood wastes is well in excess of the total national power consumption and about seven times the domestic electricity consumption. Some attempts to increase the utilization of wood waste are described: these include a domestic stove that burns sawdust, a fish smoking oven and a soap boiling tank with firewood heating. Attempts have also been made to improve the efficiency of traditional methods of making charcoal, but innovations have generally been resisted. It is suggested that more industries using wood as fuel be introduced.
