dc.description.abstractCongo Basin countries rely more on wood-based biomass to meet their energy needs than most other countries in the world. Wood fuel production is increasing in Congo Basin countries. Urbanization often produces a shift from fuel wood to charcoal consumption, because charcoal is cheaper and easier to transport and store. Charcoal is produced mostly using traditional techniques, with low transformation efficiencies. Under a business as usual scenario, charcoal supply can represent the single biggest threat to Congo Basin forests in the coming decades. This report aims at providing some thinking on how Congo Basin could meet their energy needs in a forest-friendly manner. It is one of a series of outputs prepared during a two-year exercise to analyze and better understand the deforestation dynamics in the Basin. It presents the main findings related to the wood fuel sector in the Congo Basin and its potential impact on forest cover. It is based on an in-depth analysis of the sector (past trends and future prospects). It also builds on results derived from a modeling exercise conducted by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) that examined the national and regional trends in in wood-based biomass energy use and the impacts on Congo Basin forests. The report is structured as follows: chapter one gives an overview of the wood fuel sector in the six Congo Basin countries, including an analysis of its impact so far on forest cover; chapter two presents the prospects of energy needs and production in the near future, and the potential impacts on forest under a business as usual scenario; and chapter three identifies potential key levers in the wood fuel sector that could limit adverse impacts on forest cover.en
dc.description.abstractLes pays du bassin du Congo dépendent de la biomasse ligneuse plus que la plupart des autres pays du monde pour satisfaire leurs besoins en énergie. Toutefois, les profils énergétiques varient d’un pays à l’autre, en fonction de l’accès à l’électricité et de la disponibilité et du coût de l’énergie issue du bois et des carburants fossiles. La production de bois-énergie augmente dans les pays du bassin du Congo. Le charbon de bois est principalement produit à l’aide de techniques traditionnelles, présentant une faible efficacité de transformation. S’il suit un scénario de maintien de statu quo, l’approvisionnement en charbon de bois pourrait ainsi constituer dans les prochaines décennies la menace la plus importante pour les forêts du bassin du Congo. Ce rapport a pour but d’inciter à une réflexion sur la manière dont le bassin du Congo pourrait répondre à ses besoins énergétiques tout en préservant le milieu forestier. Il fait partie d’une série de réalisations préparées durant un exercice de deux ans destiné à analyser et mieux comprendre la dynamique de la déforestation dans la région. Le propos est structuré de la manière suivante : Le chapitre 1 donne un aperçu général du secteur du bois-énergie dans les six pays du bassin du Congo, ainsi qu’une analyse de son impact sur la couverture forestière à ce jour. Le chapitre 2 présente les perspectives en matière de besoins et de production énergétique à court terme, et les impacts potentiels sur la forêt selon un scénario de maintien de statu quo. Le chapitre 3 identifie dans le secteur du bois-énergie les principaux leviers potentiels pouvant limiter les impacts néfastes sur la couverture forestière. Ce chapitre se fonde sur l’analyse des chapitres précédents et recommande aux pays du bassin du Congo des actions prioritaires destinées à répondre aux moteurs actuels et futurs de la déforestation.fr
