Lineage energy Madagascar

Which energy sources are used in Madagascar?

According to the energy inventory drawn up by the MEM 4 and the study report of the CREAM 5 , wood energy has the highest share (92%) in the total energy supply in Madagascar, followed by fossil fuel (7%). Only less than 1% of this demand is supplied by other renewable energy sources.

What are the different types of energy transformation in Madagascar?

One of the most important types of transformation for the energy system is the refining of crude oil into oil products, such as the fuels that power automobiles, ships and planes. No data for Madagascar for 2022. Another important form of transformation is the generation of electricity.

Does Madagascar have an energy transition?

Madagascar has not yet completed its demographic transition and will have to ensure effective planning and management of its energy transition. The access to electricity is particularly dichotomous between rural region and main urban areas such as Antananarivo, Diego, Majunga.

Does Madagascar have a high solar energy potential?

Due to its location, Madagascar has a high solar energy potential. As shown in Fig. 5, the Global horizontal irradiation is 2000 kWh/m 2. Almost all regions have more than 2800 h (350 sunny days) of annual solar radiation. In the west coast, solar radiation ranges from 4000 to 6500 kWh/m 2, .

Does Madagascar have a potential for energy from biofuels?

There is potential for energy from biofuels using agricultural waste from the sugar sector. Jatropha is also being cultivated for its oil which is used variously in the biofuels industry. Only 1.9 per cent of Madagascar’s hydroelectric power potential has currently been used (REEEP, 2012).

Does Madagascar have a wind energy potential?

Madagascar has an important wind energy potential. Indeed, with three kinds of winds: the coastal winds, the local wind and the ocean wind such as the trade wind and the cyclones, Madagascar can reach a wind energy potential of about 2000 MW.
