ANGA, SIMEON BOMA CHAIRMAN CASSAVA AGRO INDUSTRIES – 03-2012

Ethanol as fuel for stoves, generators cars, buses and lamps will be available everywhere (as telephone handsets now are, yet much cheaper…

Imagine a soon coming Africa where…

Our cars will run on GASOHOL: A cleaner fuel made from a blend of Ethanol & Gasoline:

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.

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

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.

The retail fuel market in Nigeria has been plagued by high prices, scarcities, and quality problems. Purchasing fuels from abroad creates a FOREX problem.

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.

PM10 are small soot particles 10 μ in size or less. PM10

indicates that even smaller, more dangerous particles are present.

The Cassakero VISION

“To provide Nigeria 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.”

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 (2011-2015).”

The Project To establish an integrated pilot project 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.

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.

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.

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.
