What is Zimbabwe's energy supply?

Zimbabwe's total energy supply encompasses all energy generated or imported, excluding any energy that is exported or stored. Biofuels and waste constitute the predominant energy sources, accounting for 71% of the total energy supply, as in Figure 1 (a) and (b), for total energy supply and domestic energy production, respectively.

Which energy sources are used in Zimbabwe?

Bioenergy, including biogas and biofuels, accounts for 3% of Zimbabwe's renewable energy capacity as of 2022. Biomass energy sources such as crop residues, wood waste, and animal manure are widely used for cooking, heating, and small-scale electricity generation in rural parts of the nation.

Can biogas be used to generate electricity in Zimbabwe?

An analysis of the potential generation of electrical power from biogas in Zimbabwe to complement grid power was performed (Mutate et al., 2023). This study aimed to determine the current production of biogas in a country that can be used to generate electricity.
