Which plants use the most energy in the Comoros?

Key consumption and production statistics are shown in Figures 2 and 3. Biomass (wood and charcoal) is used to provide about 70 per cent of energy use in the Comoros. Other plants being explored for generating biomass energy include oilseed plants, such as coconut, sesame, peanut and Jatropha curcas (REEEP, 2012).

How many people in the Comoros have access to electricity?

Just less than 70 per cent of the population of the Comoros has access to electricity: 61.4 per cent in rural areas and 85.1 per cent in urban areas (Table 3 and Figure 4). There are also access disparities between the three islands.

Will Gafo power the Grand Comore volcanoes?

If successful, Gafo will operate the power installations. Recent analysis by engineers from KenGen, the Kenyan national utility, indicate that both the Karthala and La Grille volcanoes on Grand Comore have great geothermal potential, with reservoir temperatures taken at both sites of up to 300oC, at depths of 2,000 m and deeper (REEEP, 2012).
