Funding entity Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All)
Participated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Project for Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), towards the development of an Integrated Clean Cooking Plan for Rwanda, supported by geospatial information. Collaboration between the IIT-Comillas and MIT in the initial phase of the Plan, including: State of the Art (methods, tools and data), design of a methodology, local data analysis (existing and required) and recommendations.
The deliverable results of this project are the following:
a) Review of literature, plans, data, tools. International level.
b) Review of clean cooking efforts in Rwanda.
c) Proposal of methodology and approach for clean cooking planning in Rwanda.
d) Assessment/audit of data available for the proposed methodology.
e) Phase II proposal. Includes data-collection requirements and recommendations.
The methodology proposed for the preparation of integrated plans will include a large-scale optimization tool, with widespread use of geospatial information, which proposes detailed solutions (at a national level) on infrastructure developments and pricing policies (subsidies), seeking the maximum benefit/cost ratio. The benefits will be social, environmental and health-related, but the model must also include business benefits - as such a large-scale transformation needs to attract investment in a sustainable way. The tool will produce detailed and georeferenced results, to allow the planner to carry out sensitivity analyses with respect to input parameters and constraints.
