  • Assessment of the Implementation of Alternative Process Technologies for Rural Heat and Power Production from Cocoa Pod Husks
    Assessment of the implementation of alternative process technologies for rural heat and power production from cocoa pod husks Dimitra Maleka Master of Science Thesis KTH School of Industrial Engineering and Management Department of Energy Technology Division of Heat and Power Technology SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Master of Science Thesis EGI 2016: 034 MSC EKV1137 Assessment of the implementation of alternative process technologies for rural heat and power production from cocoa pod husks Dimitra Maleka Approved Examiner Supervisors Reza Fakhraie Reza Fakhraie (KTH) David Bauner (Renetech AB) Commissioner Contact person ii Abstract Cocoa pod husks are generated in Côte d’Ivoire, in abundant quantities annually. The majority is left as waste to decompose at the plantations. A review of the ultimate and proximate composition of CPH resulted in the conclusion that, CPH is a high potential feedstock for both thermochemical and biochemical processes. The main focus of the study was the utilization of CPH in 10,000 tons/year power plants for generation of energy and value-added by-products. For this purpose, the feasibility of five energy conversion processes (direct combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, anaerobic digestion and hydrothermal carbonization) with CPH as feedstock, were investigated. Several indicators were used for the review and comparison of the technologies. Anaerobic digestion and hydrothermal carbonization were found to be the most suitable conversion processes. For both technologies an analysis was conducted including technical, economic, environmental and social aspects. Based on the characterization of CPH, appropriate reactors and operating conditions were chosen for the two processes. Moreover, the plants were chosen to be coupled with CHP units, for heat and power generation.

    Côte d’Ivoire Monthly Humanitarian Report October 2011 www.unocha.org The mission of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is to mobilize and coordinate effective and principled humanitarian action in partnership with national and international actors. Coordination Saves Lives • Celebrating 20 years of coordinated humanitarian action October 2011 Côte d’Ivoire Humanitarian Bulletin | 2 Côte d’Ivoire Monthly Humanitarian Report Coordination Saves Lives No.1 | October 2011 HIGHLIGHTS ■ The number of Internally Displaced People (IDPs) on 35 sites across the country is gradually decreasing. ■ A National Committee for Coordination of Humanitarian Action (CNCAH) was established by ministerial decree (Minister of State, Employment, Social Affairs and Solidarity) on 5 October 2011. ■ Ivorian refugees in Liberia are spontaneously and gradually returning to their villages of origin in the Moyen Cavally region. ■ The Humanitarian Coordinator and the Ivorian Minister for Employment, Solidarity and Social Affairs visited several European capitals to mobilize support for humanitarian action in Côte d'Ivoire. ■ The Special Representative of the UN Secretary General in Côte d'Ivoire took office on 24 October. I. GENERAL CONTEXT During October, violent incidents took place in the towns of Issia, Guiglo and Bangolo in the West of the country. These incidents resulted in the displacement of an estimated 450 people according to the Protection Cluster. In the Lagunes region, there has been an upsurge of security incidents: several cases of armed robbery, home intrusion and theft are reported to have been committed by armed men in the districts of Anyama, Abobo and Yopougon, in Abidjan. This situation is reportedly due to the free circulation of firearms and to escapee- prisoners since the post-electoral crisis.

Koua*, Kouassi B. Kpangui and Yao Sadaiou S. Barima Laboratory of Biodiversity and Sustainable Management of Tropical Ecosystems, Université Jean Lorougnon Guédé, BP 150 Daloa, Côte d'Ivoire. Received 14 July, 2020 ; Accepted 30 September, 2020 The mountainous relief of Western Region of Côte d'Ivoire, as well as large savannas bordering the dense semi-deciduous forests, did not make this part of the country an area suitable for cocoa cultivation. However, in search of forest land for cocoa cultivation, a large influx of people has been observed in this area over the last decade. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of human pressure due to population migrations for cocoa cultivation on vegetation degradation in the western mountainous region. To achieve this, the methodology consisted of digital processing of a set of three Landsat satellite images from 1985, 2002 and 2018, and interviews with cocoa plantation owners in the study area. The results showed that between 2002 and 2018, the annual rates of forest and savannah loss were 8.6 and 0.7% respectively. This loss is to the benefit of new cocoa farms, which are increasing annually by 12.6%. Also, the period 2002 to 2018 corresponds to the period of strong migration of producers in the zone with a settlement rate of 85.5%.

Photo credit: Thierry Gouegnon/Oxfam 1 Table of content Executive Summary 3 BACKGROUND 5 Context and Scale of Displacement Waves of spontaneous returns REASONS FOR RETURNS AND CONTINUED DISPLACEMENT 6 Reasons for return Reasons for continued displacement Incentives and lack of alternatives Insecurity, fear, rumours, and mixed messages CONTINUED HUMANITARIAN NEEDS 8 Food security and shelter are primary concerns Challenges livelihoods Access to basic services remains limited PROSPECTS FOR SECURITY AND RECONCILIATION 10 Community tensions Need for civilian authorities, reconciliation efforts and the rule of law CONCLUSION 12 RECOMMENDATIONS 13 SURVEY METHODOLOGY 15 Disclaimer The French terms “autochtones”, “allochtones” and “allogenes” are used in this report to refer to the different groups of people living in the country as they are commonly used in Côte d‟Ivoire. This does not reflect the policies or the views of Care, DRC and Oxfam. In the context of the Moyen Cavally region where the study has been conducted, “autochtones” refer to the Guere ethnic group, “allochtones” to all other Ivoirian ethnic groups who migrated to Moyen Cavally and “allogenes” to all the migrants from the ECOWAS countries. The legal bases for durable solutions for displacements are the UNHCR Framework on durable solutions and the UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacements. The former focuses on promoting durable solutions for refugees and persons of concerns through repatriation to their country of origin, local integration in the country of asylum or resettlement to a third country.
