6. Challenges 2
IntroductionThe Renewable energy sources in now days represent
one of the most important options to contribute in solving the worldwide energy supply to the customers.
As in man countries in world, Mozambique also is curing out some activities and feasibility studies on the renewable energy development, such as: PV systems, small hydropower development, biomass and wind power
In Mozambique, very few research as been done, due to the fact that this technologies it is still new one as in many countries of the world and the lack of funds as became one of the biggest issue.
One of the biggest challenge is to seek for a capacity building to curry out the over all feasibility studies in sustainable point of view 3
Introduction (cont) In Africa there is abundance of energy
resources. However, most of these resources are currently either under-exploited or exported without benefiting the vast majority of Africa’s citizens;
Mozambique has a huge potential for RE development that can afford the energy needs, including the power supply for rural areas and biofuels.
The establishment of objective policy and strategy on renewable legal framework for RE, in Mozambique, enhance a sustainable use and development of renewable energy.

Renewable Energy Resources and PotentialHYDROPOWER
In general, the hydropower potential in Mozambique is about 12500 MW;
Only about 20% has been exploited;
More than 100 sites has been identified with satisfied energy potential to be exploited for small, medium and large scale hydropower plants. some of those sites are located in Manica, Zambezia, Niassa and Tete provinces.

Renewable Energy Resources and Potential
SOLARMozambique due its geographical location is
high solar radiation Ongoing different projects of rural
electrification to benefit sites far from the Mozambican electrical network where social infrastructures as schools, clinics, etc are priority
Renewable Energy Resources and Potential
WIND
The wind resources in Mozambique is significant. However, the available data shows that there are some sites where is recommended to develop deep research;
The strong wind blow during June to August and the most probable areas are located in the coastline and in the highland.

Renewable Energy Resources and Potential
BIOMASSMozambique has high potential of biomass
resources;
About 80% of the population satisfy their energy needs in biomass;
The big challenge is to promote new technology for sustainable use and environmental protection.
Country Experiency on Renewable Energy
In all over the projects we are commited with:
crosscuts issues (Environmental, Gender, HIV);
colaborate with private sector
colaborate with research instituitions (Eduardo Mondlane University)
Country Experiency on Renewable Energy
Small HydropowerOngoing severall
feasibility studies in Tete, Manica, Zambezia Provinces;
We have successful installed a 200 kW plant in Honde, Manica Province
11
Country Experiency on Renewable Energy
Solar Energy
Rural electrification which clinics and schools are the main target;
12
Country Experiency on Renewable Energy
Water pumping systems
For house holds in rural areas;
13
Country Experiency on Renewable Energy
Wind Energy• Water pumping system for
households and irrigation in Homoine, Inhambane Province
• Research under progress for on grid connection; data colected in two sites(Ponta de Ouro in Maputo province and Tofinho, in inhambane province) indicate in average 6-7 m/s.
14
Country Experiency on Renewable Energy
BiomassIntroduction of
improved kilns for charcoal burners;
Reduction of forest resourses devastation around 25%.
15
Country Experiency on Renewable EnergyIntroduction of
improved stoves for domestic and institutional use;
An efficiency of 60-70%;
Reduction of fuelwood consumption;
Money and time saving.
16
Country Experiency on Renewable Energy
BIOFUEL
Baseline study to formulate national biofuels strategy have been curried out.
Liquid(Biodiesel and Ethanol); ECOMOZ project has installed a plant of biodiesel with a
capacity of 40 Millions of liters per annum in Matola;
Policy and Strategy for Renewable EnergyThe policy and strategy for RE under
development aims to: increase the access to energy services,
contributing to improving the living standards and fulfilling the programme for rural development.
Establish local capacity development on RE technology;
Create market for RE development;
Deployment of RE options;
Boost Research &Development on RE. 18
New option for Research & Development on RE in MozambiqueTidal energy;
Wave energy;
Ocean thermal energy;
Solar Thermal;
Landfill gas.
19
ChallengesThe major challenges for renewable energy are as
follows:
Research and Development Program on Renewable Energy;
Establishment of Renewable Energy Resources Database;
Policy and Strategy in place, in order to enabling legal framework establishment to promote implementation and RE development;
Local Development ;
Market Development.20
Challenges (cont)
Build an environment to engage academia and private sector in the RE programs;
Ensure the database creation to be available for the interested investors;
Define plans and programs for each promising renewable energy option.
21
Challenges (cont)
The biggest key issue is to get funds to implement all those project ideas
