in a rural West African village</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>All,<BR><BR>Nathan Johnson and I would like to bring to your
attention our recently published research on energy supply and use in a rural
West African village. If you have free access to Energy (an Elsevier journal)
the journal article can be downloaded from ENERGY at <A
href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360544212003088">http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360544212003088</A> .<BR><BR>If
you do not have free access to Energy, I would be happy to email you a pdf of
the article (I cannot post the article due to copyright issues but I can
provide it to you by email). The article is 590 KB in size.<BR><BR>The
abstract of the article is<BR><BR>"Over three billion people live in the rural
areas of low- and middle-income countries. Often rural households have many
unmet energy needs, including cooking, lighting, heating, transportation, and
telecommunication. Designing solutions to meet these needs requires an
understanding of the human, natural, and engineered systems that drive
village energy dynamics. This paper presents the results of a novel study of
energy supply and use over a one year period in an isolated rural village of
770 people in Mali. Quantitative data and narrative descriptions from this
study portray village energy supply and use. Annual village energy use is
6000 MJ per cap per yr. Domestic energy needs account for 93% of village
energy use. Wood is the primary energy source and provides 94% of the village
energy supply. Approximately 98% of the wood is used for domestic consumption.
The uses of wood in the home are cooking (52.2%), heating water (22.2%),
space heating (19.1%), and other activities (6.5%). This paper also reports
variations in energy usage over the period of a year for a broad range of
domestic, artisan, transport, and public energy uses."
