Profitability analysis of renewable energy technologies for electrification and cooking in rural areas
This study proposes a technical, economic and environmental analysis of some energy systems for electrification and cooking in a rural area of Cameroon. It appears that the most economical solution is based on the biogas used as cooking fuel and for electricity production (BG/Bgc system) with a LCOE of $0.000622 kWh−1. The PV/BT/Ec system using PV energy for electrification and electric cooking is the best environmental solution. The PV/BT/LPG, BG/Bgc, and BG/Ec systems, respectively with a CO2 emissions reduction rate of 86.694 %, 83.962 % and 73.373 % also appear as promising environmental solutions. The economic analysis of the biogas potential in the study area showed that the commercialization of biogas as a cooking fuel is more profitable than the commercialization of electricity produced from biogas. A total benefit of $66,865,000 could result over the 25-year project lifespan with a payback time of 13 years 5 months 24 days.
