My supervisors, Prof. Ahmad Addo, Dr Emmanuel Ofori and Dr Lawrence Darkwah, were very helpful with their comments. Dr Emmanuel Ofori was part of the supervisory team until his untimely demise in October 2014. May his soul rest in perfect peace. This work was supported with a grant from DANIDA Fellowship Centre (DFC) of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as a part of the project “Biofuel production from lignocellulosic materials – 2GBIONRG”, DFC journal no. 10-018RISØ. For additional information, see http://2gbionrg.dk. As part of the DANIDA project, I received invaluable support from my two Danish co-supervisors Simon Bolwig and Ivan Nygaard as well as from Gordon Mackenzie and Hanne Østergaard, all from the Technical University of Denmark – DTU. As part of the same project, I worked closely with fellow PhD Students: Sune Tjalfe Thomsen (who has since graduated), Andreas Kamp, Edem Cudjoe Bensah and Kodwo Mieza. Some aspects of this work were done at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Model preparation and drafting of a part-manuscript for Chapter 6 was carried out during a research fellowship at the University of Michigan as part of the University of Michigan African Presidential Scholars (UMAPS) Program, under the guidance of Prof Shelie Miller. The program Director Prof Kelly Askew and coordinators Devon Keen and Sandra Schulze were every helpful. Colleagues on the programme were inspiring. I also want to acknowledge support received from staff of The Energy Center, and the Department of Agricultural Engineering, KNUST. I am also grateful to staff of the Ghana Energy Commission, especially Ms. Joyce Ocansey for commenting on the socio-economic assessment chapters. iv Abstract Biomass is an important renewable energy source that holds large potential as feedstock for production of different energy carriers in a context of sustainable development, peak oil and climate change. The aim of this thesis was to establish the technical potential of biomass for second generation biofuels production in Ghana; examine the extent to which the available biomass could contribute to future energy scenarios and analyse ex-ante socio-economic impacts of biomass energy systems using relevant case studies. The thesis found that the technical potential of bioenergy from agricultural residues, livestock manure, municipal solid waste and wood residues was approximately 275 PJ in 2011 alone. By 2030, the potential biomass available could gross over 900 PJ. Generating 4.0% of total electricity from biomass and replacing approximately 20% of transport fuels in 2030 with biofuels could reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions by about 6 million tonnes of CO2eq by 2030, equivalent to about 14% reduction relative to emissions from a business-as-usual scenario. A gradual household switch to biogas for cooking, as well as the increased use of more efficient charcoal carbonisation technologies and improved cookstoves could save 138 PJ of woodfuels by the same 2030. Socio-economic impact studies were conducted for biogas production from staple food systems and agro-industrial systems. In the staple food system, a 300 m3 bio-digester would have a Net Present Value of approximately US$ 22,000, 16 year payback period and an Internal Rate of Return of 11%, assuming a 10% discount rate. The project will create four (4) full time unskilled labour positions during the investment year and three (3) positions during the operational years. Using methane from the bio-digester for cooking will displace approximately 170 t of firewood per year and save the women in the community a total of 3,400 h per year from not fetching firewood. However, only 5% of households are willing to pay the base tariff of US$ 30/month with up to 60% willing to pay less than half the monthly tariff. v Table of Contents List of Figures ............................................................................................................ xi List of Tables ........................................................................................................... xiii CHAPTER ONE ........................................................................................................ 1 1.0 GENERAL INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND .............................. 1 1.1 Background Information ............................................................................... 1 1.2 Objectives of Study ....................................................................................... 6 1.3 Research Questions ....................................................................................... 6 1.4 Significance of the Research ......................................................................... 7 1.5 Hypothesis ..................................................................................................... 8 1.6 Scope and Structure of Thesis ....................................................................... 9 1.7 Limitations of Study .................................................................................... 10 1.8 Delimitations of Study ................................................................................. 11 CHAPTER TWO ..................................................................................................... 12 2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW ............................................................................. 12 2.1 Introduction ................................................................................................. 12 2.2 Recent Trends in Renewable Energy .......................................................... 12 2.3 Global Bioenergy Potentials ........................................................................ 18 2.4 Impact of Bioenergy Production ................................................................. 23 2.4.1 Environmental Impacts ........................................................................ 23 2.4.2 Socio-economic Impacts ...................................................................... 26 2.4.2.1 Definition .......................................................................................... 26 2.4.2.2 Socio-economic Impacts of Bioenergy at Different Levels ............. 27 2.4.2.3 Positive Socio-economic Impacts .................................................... 28 2.4.2.4 Negative Socio-economic Impacts ................................................... 29 2.4.2.5 Tackling Negative Socio-economic Impacts .................................... 32 2.5 Bioenergy and Climate Change ................................................................... 34 2.6 Bioenergy Sustainability Assessment and Sustainability Indicators ........... 36 2.6.1 Sustainability Assessment ...................................................................

  • Offinso Municipality
    OFFINSO MUNICIPALITY Copyright © 2014 Ghana Statistical Service ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No meaningful developmental activity can be undertaken without taking into account the characteristics of the population for whom the activity is targeted. The size of the population and its spatial distribution, growth and change over time, in addition to its socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. A population census is the most important source of data on the size, composition, growth and distribution of a country’s population at the national and sub-national levels. Data from the 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC) will serve as reference for equitable distribution of national resources and government services, including the allocation of government funds among various regions, districts and other sub-national populations to education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users, especially the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, with district-level analytical reports based on the 2010 PHC data to facilitate their planning and decision-making. The District Analytical Report for the Offinso Municipality one of the 216 district census reports aimed at making data available to planners and decision makers at the district level. In addition to presenting the district profile, the report discusses the social and economic dimensions of demographic variables and their implications for policy formulation, planning and interventions. The conclusions and recommendations drawn from the district report are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence- based decision-making, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programmes.

Nyanteng Peter Takyi Peprah Lawford Boateng Acheamfuor Emmanuel Nii Okang Tawiah Edited by: Samuel K. Gaisie Chief Editor: Nii Bentsi-Enchill ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT There cannot be any meaningful developmental activity without taking into account the characteristics of the population for whom the activity is targeted. The size of the population and its spatial distribution, growth and change over time, and socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. The Kilimanjaro Programme of Action on Population adopted by African countries in 1984 stressed the need for population to be considered as a key factor in the formulation of development strategies and plans. A population census is the most important source of data on the population in a country. It provides information on the size, composition, growth and distribution of the population at the national and sub-national levels. Data from the 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC) will serve as reference for equitable distribution of resources, government services and the allocation of government funds among various regions and districts for education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users with an analytical report on the 2010 PHC at the regional level to facilitate planning and decision-making. This follows the publication of the National Analytical Report in May, 2013 which contained information on the 2010 PHC at the national level with regional comparisons. Conclusions and recommendations from these reports are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence-based policy formulation, planning, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programs.
