Environmental assessment of electricity production in Tanzania

Future prospect and sustainability of wood fuel resources in Tanzania

“…Tanzania has a low electricity connectivity, of about 14-17% [6,14], as compared to that of Sub-Saharan Africa electricity connectivity of about 30% [37]. Over 80% of the population still live in villages [38], which is presently estimated at 40.8 million people.…”

“…In Tanzania, development of hydropower is estimated at 470-564 MW which is 10-12% of the hydropower potential which is estimated at 4700 MW. The country also has reserves of about 304 million tonnes of coal and 45 billion m 3 of natural gas [6][7][8]. The underdevelopment of these vast resources has lead to the over dependency on indigenous energy resources (e.g.…”

Energy, Transportation and Global Warming

“…Proops et al (1996), illustrate that paper examines the UK economy wide, lifecycle implications of eight forms of electricity generations for the emission of three air pollutants, CO 2 , SO 2 and NO, The lifecycle of the generating stations is considered in three phases: construction, operation and decommissioning. Felix and Grewal (2012), stated that environmental assessment of electricity production in Tanzania. They paper presents the environmental assessment of the centralized grid-connected electricity production in Tanzania using a life cycle approach for the years 2000, 2015, 2020, 2026 and 2030, according to the Tanzania Electricity Supply Company Limited, TANESCO's, plans for power system expansion (power system master plan of the year 2009).…”
