FAQ

  • QWhat is Uganda's cooking energy mix?
    AThe cooking energy mix in Uganda is dominated by unprocessed biomass, with charcoal the next most utilised fuel. “Clean” alternatives either relate to improved biomass cookstoves or switching to “clean” fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), biogas and ethanol.
  • QHow much does cooking fuel cost in Uganda?
    AThe GACC (2017) study reviewed the price per household per year for the cooking fuels in Uganda for which cost data was available. They found that charcoal was the most expensive fuel, at USD475 per household per year; LPG was the second most expensive fuel with annual costs of USD338 per household.
  • QWhat oils can be processed?
    AAll kinds of seed crude oil. For example common oils: soybean, peanut, sunflower, rapeseed, palm fruit, coconut, rice bran, corn germ, cottonseed, etc.
  • QWill electrified Kampala Metro reduce the consumption of fossil fuels?
    AThe GKMA-TIMES model analysis shows that the consumption of fossil fuels in the transportation sector would reduce if management sets up an electrified Kampala metro and switches 90% of the passengers to the railway category.
  • QWhat is Uganda's energy consumption matrix?
    AThey reported that Uganda’s energy consumption matrix stands at: about 90 percent biomass; 7 percent petroleum products; and 2 percent of electricity produced from hydro and thermal power plants. Only 12 percent of the total population is estimated to have access to electricity of which only 1 percent comprises the rural population.
  • QWill a new refinery be built in Uganda?
    AThe construction of the first refinery in Uganda is yet to be realized. The refinery could meet 100% of GKMA’s demand for petroleum products and thus reduce substantially the dependence on imported refined fossil oils that exposes the metropolitan to the traditionally unstable world oil market.
  • QAre Ugandans willing to pay for fuel-efficient cookstoves?
    ABeltramo et al (2015) studied willingness to pay for fuel-efficient cookstoves in rural Uganda. They compared willingness to pay for two different contracts, one with payment due within a week and one with equal instalment payments over 4 weeks. Consistent with household financial constraints, time payments raised willingness to pay by 40 percent.
