  Three B?s Local Bio-Material Wastes to Energy; Potential for Environmental Management and Sustainability
  Author(s): Kabok P Aguko*, Michael O Oloko and George K Ngusale
  
  The Counties adjacent or neighboring Lake Victoria in Kenya constitute the Nile Basin and are not exempt from carbon uptake loss, increased non-renewable fuels use and environmental degradation risks such as global warming due to population growth. Energy demand for counties in the Nile Basin becomes a critical challenge in terms of wood fuel availability and the catchment services. This study ascertained the potential of bio-energy material based on site-specific (local) characteristic. Particularly, water hyacinth (Hy) in gulf, markets for sawdust, feacal matter (FM) in towns for Bio-ethanol, Biogas and Briquettes. 100 ml Bio-ethanol from hyacinth cooked three liters of tea in 25 minutes against an ordinary charcoal cooking stove (Jiko) for 45 minutes. FM and Hy (1:1) briquettes could substitute charcoal/firewood because of high calorific/heat values of proximate value analyses. Tha.. View more»
