Sources of energy in the rural
areas,
Use of kerosene
· Electricity, solar
LPG (very few)
· Use of dry husks
· Use of saw-dust
Fuel wood, shrubs
Charcoal

Facts about energy in the
world
Half the world’s people must burn wood or dried dung to
cook their food.
Nearly 1.2 billion people, a fifth of the world’s population,
do not have access to clean drinking water.
Over 1 million children die yearly because of un-boiled
drinking water.
Wood cut for cooking purposes contributes to the 16
million hectares of forest destroyed annually.
Half the world’s population is exposed to indoor air
pollution, mainly the result of burning solid fuels for
cooking and heating.
Facts about energy in
Greatlakes region
90% of population in lake Victoria region
live in rural areas
90% of the rural households and 10%in the
urban use fuel wood as primary source of
energy for cooking and heating (ibid)
80% of Hh obtain fuel wood free but a
greater number is now buying it.
Some strategies to put in place
With increasing populations and thus higher increase
for demand for fuel wood (more trees cut ) we
need to
Increase production of tree biomass for fuel
wood, income carbon sequestration and adaptation
to climate change .
Improved wood saving devises for household
cooking in rural areas.
Use of other sustainable alternative sources of
energy
Cont.
One important method, to keep our

environment sustainable is by reducing on
fuel wood consumption. Energy
conservation
The second method is to maximize the
energy output from the available fuel wood
by use of efficient fuel wood burning.
Energy efficiency
Energy conservation
Is the practice of decreasing the quantity of

energy used while achieving a similar
outcome
Efficient energy use, sometimes simply
called energy efficiency, is using less
energy to provide the same level of energy
service.

Why use Energy Saving
Stoves?
· Minimize high consumption of fuel
wood/charcoal
· Provide time to women for other
development activities
· Promotion of the utilization of local
resources
· Environmental sanitation due to effective
use of waste
Why use Energy Saving
Stoves?
waste product (e.g. Sawdust, husks etc.) of
which could have been thrown away
· Safeguard of the community and the
Environment as a whole
Example of energy saving
stoves:-
Mud /clay Stove.
Made-up from clay soil, grass and sand
Mud /clay Stove.
Mud stoves
Kenya ceramic jiko
KCJ
The KCJ reduces fuel use by between 30

to 50%. This means less wood is burned
to make charcoal, and fewer trees have to
be cut down., less labor in looking for and
chopping firewood, reduced emissions
from incomplete combustion, such as
toxic gases( greenhouse gases) and
particulate matter, resulting in better
overall health of the users.
Chepkube jiko
Chepkube stove
Made-up from clay soils, grass, sand and
burned bricks

chicks
Liner stove/ Jiko la Kigae
Liner stove
Made-up from stones, clay soils and liner
(ready made by e.g. keyo women group)
Upesi jiko
Kuni mbili jiko
Six bricks jiko
Rocket stove
The idea of a rocket stove is that it has “an elbow”.

Fuel is fed to the combustion chamber through
vertical J-shaped elbow or horizontal L-shaped fuel
magazine. Fuel magazine is small for two reasons: it
encourages the user to feed wood in bit by bit and
also it stops too much cool air to enter combustion
chamber.
Very often rocket mud stoves also have external
chimneys to remove smoke from the kitchen.

Husks stove/ Jiko la Pumba
Husks stove/saw dust jiko

Ready made by local artisans Make
use of husks from rice and saw-
dust
Fireless cookers/food warmers
Made-up from black pillow with husks or sawdust.

FC saves up to 50% of cooking energy
If used regularly in combination with improved
cook stoves, an additional 40% energy is saved.
This saves equivalent to 4.1 million tones of
wood or 12.2 billion shillings annually.
This saving contributes to avoided deforestation
as more trees are saved.
