Opportunities for Energy Conservation in a Low Income Developing Country: The Case of Haiti

Abstract: This article assesses the possibilities of establishing more efficient patterns of energy use in Haiti, a country increasingly dependent on imported petroleum products to fuel its economy. The author examines the various consuming sectors of the economy and the options for the use of indigenous fuels in place of petroleum. She next describes the potential roles national energy planning and foreign assistance can play in solving the more pressing of Haiti's energy problems. Four functions are urgently needed: c… Show more

“…Haiti, however, as an exception exemplifies the necessity of considering total, not just energy, costs. In 1975, this country installed a 300 000 metric ton capacity wet process kiln apparently to avoid the much higher capital costs of a dry-process investment (Cecelski, 1980 11c120 * * * n.a. = not available.…”

“…Comparisons between countries, for example the Netherlands and Bangladesh, indicate that housekeeping measures might contribute considerably to energy savings in at least some LDCs. Studies in Kenya (Schipper, 1980) and Haiti (Cecelski, 1980) show that substantial energy could be saved by simply plugging obvious leaks. However, since such steps require shutting down the kiln, these energy saving measures are often postponed.…”
