Abstract

This work seeks to evaluate the latest technology options for utilizing feedstock from Senegal´s groundnut industry in a mix in with other government initiatives such as waste-to-energy programs. The paper will assess some of these technologies from the green power sector against local Senegal conditions. The implications for other ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) countries with similar rural supply challenges and other fuel source types are evaluated with recommendations.
