“…In 1988 the Senegalese government began subsidizing LPG as a substitute for charcoal and fuelwood consumption, especially in urban areas [22,26,57,66]. The government has been phasing out the LPG subsidy for various reasons including its cost, equity effects (the rich tended to benefit most), and risks of promoting reliance on fossil fuels [66].…”

Abstract:To improve decision-making, sustainability-based approaches to assessment of options and undertakings demand that we move beyond narrowly defined considerations to address the full suite of requirements for progress towards sustainability. This paper reports on a sustainability assessment exercise that originally focused on burning agricultural residues, primarily peanut shells, for cooking applications in Senegal. The scope of assessment had to be expanded to address the agricultural and energy systems of Senegal, when closer examination revealed a complex set of energy and agricultural system interactions that could undermine the anticipated positive effects of initiatives centred primarily on peanut residue cookstoves. The case highlights the need to be open to expanding the scope of assessment to address underlying and/or unexpected issues that cannot be addressed appropriately at the project scale. In particular, the case illustrates how the assessment of an energy system may serve as an entry point into a deeper exploration of the context in which the energy system is embedded. The analysis also illustrates a situation in which different paths that may be followed, each with its own degree of uncertainty, path dependence, feasibility, fairness, cultural sensitivity, trade-off acceptability and possibilities for public judgement of overall desirability.

Supercapacitors store electrical energy on the basis of electrostatic attraction between opposite charges as a result of the formation of an electric double layer (EDL) at the electrolyte/electrode interface. Carbon-derived materials are commonly used to fabricate supercapacitor electrodes owing to their high electrical conductivity, high capacitance, excellent porosity, good electrochemical stability, and large specific surface area. [131-136] Predominantly, these materials include carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, carbon spheres, hollow carbon spheres, carbon nanoparticles (CNPs), etc. [62,137-145] Nevertheless, they fail to demonstrate the desirable performance in practical applications after a certain threshold owing to their short durability and low energy density. Although, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have proven to be better electrode candidates in certain aspects, [142,143,146-148] however, these materials incur high cost, low yield of porous carbon, high consumption of metallic nitrate, [62] and hence higher waste generation. Due to the rising concerns of waste production and its management and hence the need for sustainable and cheap resources, reusing and/or converting waste from various sources such as industrial, agricultural, food, and spent electronic devices efficiently into usable carbon has attracted much interest since recently.

Electricity generation by splitting of water from hydroelectric cell: An alternative to solar cell and fuel cell

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Harnessing green electricity by hydroelectric cell from water molecule splitting based on uniquely processed ferrites, multiferroic, composites and metal oxides has astonished the world. The specially processed oxygen deficient Nano porous ferrite/metal oxide attached with two dissimilar electrodes known as hydroelectric cell to generate electricity using a few drops of water for the first time it was invented in 2016. It is a primary source of energy that operates on the principle of spontaneous water molecule dissociation (OH − and H 3 O +) by oxygen deficient and Nano porous materials such as Mg 0.
