Energy is a very important resource for national development. Uganda's energy mix comprises mainly biomass, petroleum products and electricity. Biomass is the main source of energy, contributing 92.3%. Petroleum contributes 6.3% and electricity 1.3% of the total energy consumption. The contribution of other forms of energy; wind, solar energy and biogas is negligible. Biomass is mostly used in households and small-scale industries. Petroleum and electricity are used in large-scale industries and in the commercial sector. It was envisaged that this study will be an important input into the National Vision, developed by the Ministry of Finance Planning and Economic Development, for the national development to the year 2025. 2015-01-03T18:02:29Z 2015-01-03T18:02:29Z 2006 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11146 eng application/pdf Energy Research Centre Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
