May 13, 2013 at 03:12PM Biomass, an economical electricity source in Madagascar

The first thermal power station using biomass in Madagascar was recently launched in the rural town of Andaingo. This unique installation produces electricity twice as cheaply as diesel generators, using wood from local eucalyptus plantations. The installation should help develop economic and craft activities in the town and provide farmers with jobs and higher incomes. It was designed under the Gesforcom rural council management, community management and local development project, by CIRAD and its Manadgascan partners.
