BIO - ELECTRICITY IN RURAL AREAS TANZANIA

1. BIO - ELECTRICITYIN RURAL AREASTANZANIA Prepared by Kitomondo-Plantation For the Tanzania Government

2. The bio-electricity project • The KITOMONDO-PLANTATION Ltd prepared a six year project for a Learning Demo Farm, producing BIO-Oil for generator (and tractors) in poor rural areas, with a detailed working program • The proposed project is here drafted for the main points as base for a deep discussion with the government departments • The results obtained in this project could be of much help in the definition of a government strategy and policy on this new agriculture and environmental business

3. Moringa and Neem fertilizer and pesticides Oil seeds treatment and storage Harvesting Jatropha Honge Cultivation Seed selection Tractor Food crops Biofuel production Electricity Village

4. A TYPICAL VILLAGE POWER GEN Generators in Villages Oil-Mill in Villages Development In Villages Kitomondo Plantation Kitomondo Oil-Mill Selling Jatropha Seeds Jatropha in Villages Kitomondo School for local Farmers

5. The full cycle • Oil crops production(jatropha and honge for oil; moringa as fertilizer; neem as pesticide) • Bio-oil production • Electricity production through adapted diesel engines • Bio-oil as fuel for adapted tractors • By products utilization (substitute charcoal)

6. Dissemination of know how, knowledge and best practices • Permanent learning school on site for 20 people per two week course (500 person per year) • Easy reading leaflets for villagers • Technical reports • Seeds, plants and equipment available on site

7. Personnel required 1 chair 12 management staff (accountant, agronomist, mechanical engineers, safety, environment, PR) 3 teachers 20 workers for cultivation 5 workers for oil production 3 drivers 6 guards 11 general services TOTAL 61

8. Timing 6 years in total (7th for final reporting) From time zero: personnel selection, contracts with diesel engine companies, land preparation, seeds selection, infrastructures, machinery purchase. From 1st y engine modification and adaptation to SVO Form 3 rd y harvesting, oil prod, testing with engine on site From 5 th y complete cycle testing 4-5-6 th ys learning school courses (500 per year,in total 1500 persons) 7 th y final reporting

9. Budget (US$ million) Infrastructures 1.5 Equipment 3.4 Materials 1.3 Services 2.5 General expenses 0.2 Personnel 2.3 Contingency 0.5 Total 11.7

10. Expected benefits • Short term availability of electricity in all rural areas of Tanzania • Short term robust development of poor areas • Low intensity investment required • Zero CO2 emission cycle • No food competition • Support to agriculture with pumping water and tractors • Availability of charcoal without deforestation • No need for large infrastructures • Stopping urbanization • Utilization of poor useless land • Zero short and long term impact on environment • Preparing the future for Tanzania as bio-oil export country

11. Conclusions Jatropha, Honge (Moringa and Neem) as new energy source Short term result: development of poor area through village scale units for electricity production and agriculture machinery Medium term result: make Tanzania independent from oil import Long term result: make Tanzania a bio-oil export country
