10 using ethanol_for_domestic_energy_supply_in_west_africa
1. Project to Promote The Use Of Ethanol
As a New Household
Fuel For Nigeria
ANGA, SIMEON BOMA CHAIRMAN CASSAVA AGRO INDUSTRIES – 03-2012
2. Why the use of ethanol for Cooking?
The rationale (Statement of Problems)
The costs of fossil fuels are rising and so are the
budgets of most African Countries who spend an
average of 55-60% of national budget on
importation and subsidization of liquid
petroleum fuels for their domestic economies.
African countries cannot cope with this rising
cost. Most African economies may experience
stagnation & worsen the poverty trap except
alternative bio fuels are produced to substitute
the unsustainable imports of petroleum.

in the 1st quarter of 2011
3. WHY USE ETHANOL FOR COOKING?
Blackened pots, walls and ceiling
Health: eye irritation, coughing
Long distances for gathering 6-8
hours or more
Rape, beatings, intimidation, threat
of murder, theft
Falls and injuries, dehydration,
injuries to back, legs and kidneys
Lack of wood
Lack of time for education, income
generation, or access to services
4. The retail fuel market in Nigeria has been
plagued by high prices, scarcities, and
quality problems. Purchasing fuels from
abroad creates a FOREX problem.
Long lines await delivery of kerosene in a
fuel station.
Replacing kerosene with ethanol is
financially more rewarding than replacing
gasoline, since Nigeria pays more for
kerosene.
5. Traditional fuels for sale
in Nigeria. The city’s cash
economy pulls in these
wood fuels, but they are
no longer cheap.
6. Two examples of
dirty, smoky fuels in
common use:
Animal dung
Tif tif for sale.
This fuel is a blend
of charcoal dust and
clay.

Our tests show that alcohol fuels used in the CleanCook stove are
the cleanest and safest alternative for the 80%+ of homes in the
developing world that do not have adequate or reliable access to
electricity.

Extremely high particulate matter and CO. kills
360,000 women and children every year in Sub
Saharan Africa (WHO 2006)
10. The Cassakero VISION
“To provide Sub Saharan Africa Rural
Households with a locally made bio-
ethanol Cooking fuel and appliances
for household use that will be
available, affordable and accessible,
creating new jobs and reducing poverty
while enhancing food and energy
security in the nation without harming
the environment.”

12. PROJECT MISSION
“To establish a dedicated national
bio-ethanol output of 4 million
liters per day produced from small
scale-bio ethanol refineries to
provide the household Cooking fuel
requirement of 4 million families in
four years (2012-2015).”
13. Immediate Objectives
To set up in collaboration with the Government of
Nigeria & other donor international partners a
National pilot & demonstrational ethanol plant
complete with a system for the feedstock
production & the supplies of appliances as a
proof of concept.
To advocate the formulation of favorable policies
to promote the emergence of this new industry in
Nigeria.
Secure funds Nov2010-January.2011
Pilot: Construction Start January 2011 ends April
2011
14. The Project
To establish an integrated pilot plant as a “proof
of concept” to demonstrate the feasibility and
economic viability of ethanol production from
farm gate base refineries using energy crops and
its use as clean low cost cooking and household
fuel.
Capacity: 1,000 Liters/day
Providing fuel for: 1,000 household
50 Out growers: 100 hectares
Feedstock: Non Edible Cassava, sweet sorghum
Clean Cook Stoves: 1,000 : total project
cost:$250,000
15. Where are we?
Project conceptual documents fully developed
Business plan & feasibility study for a pilot plant
already developed
Partnership with ethanol technology providers
and input suppliers already developed
Cooking Stoves and other appliances suppliers
already in place.
Commercial roll out plan already in place.
16. What Do we need from NEPAD?
A seed fund of $230,0000 to
finance the proof of concept and
create a leaning model that can
be replicated and scaled up
across West Africa.

21. The Distribution of the Liquid The Ethanol to
serve as a cooking & Household fuel
22. The Cassakero Cooking fuel
Cassakero is safe and easy to handle and user friendly. it
is less volatile and as a bio-fuel, it is easily absorbed into
the environment with no known health hazard. The
ethanol will be denatured with Bitrex, a bitter substance
to render it undrinkable, and a colorant to give it a
distinguishing color.
23. EXPECTED PROFILE OF
ETHANOL FUEL

Copper - 2mg/L max
Lead - 0.2mg/L max
Cadmium - 0.1mg/L max
Appearance - Clear, Colourless Liquid

25. The electric & ethanol stove Combination
ORIGO C200,220-240V, electric & ethanol double stove
ORIGO C100,220-240V, electric & ethanol stove
27. The CleanCook fueling
system: The fuel is
charged into the canister
as a liquid and adsorbed
onto a fiber filling. The
fuel will not spill and
cannot explode. The
result it is a very safe
stove.
28. The CleanCook stove will make it
possible for ethanol to enter into and
take command of the household
energy market—a new and important
opportunity for CAR.
29. In 2002, kerosene, which was
subsidized, cost 32¢ per liter.
Kerosene is priced in the “official”
market today at about 80¢ and in
the black market at well over $1.00
per liter. It is often adulterated
with gasoline since gasoline is now
cheaper.
