What is it about?
Bioenergy is the single largest renewable energy source which supplies about 10% of the world’s primary energy needs. The International Network for Bamboo and Rattan (INBAR) has supported farmers in many tropical countries to establish plantations of Beema bamboo (a tissue-cultured clone from Bambusa vulgaris) and Oxytenanthera abyssinica for bio-energy production. The quality of these species as solid biofuels is unknown due to the absence of data on their physico-thermal and emission characteristics. In our current study, the bioenergy potential of Beema bamboo and O. abyssinica was evaluated.

Why is it important?
This research provides valuable information necessary for the promotion of Beema bamboo (a tissue-cultured clone from Bambusa vulgaris) and Oxytenanthera abyssinica as sustainable solid biofuel materials in the renewable energy production matrix.
Perspectives
Great contribution to the promotion of bioenergy to replace fossilized fuel.
