1 Bioenergy and Sustainability in Africa (COMPETE) Francesca Farioli, PhD CIRPS-Sapienza University of Rome

2 2 Limited access to energy sources, low level of quality of life, lack of livelihood opportunities in rural areas in Africa; with negative impacts (migration, environmental degradation) Sustainability Problem Solution Option (Vision) Decentralized, community-based Biofuel Programs and Facilities that provide rural communities with energy and/or income opportunities Sustainability Science Projects Type 1 Research projects that contribute to creating an Enabling Environment (Guidelines, Policies, Net- works) for biofuel facilities and programs COMPETE Project Goals, Modules, Outcomes COMPETE Land-Use Mapping Sustainability Science Projects Type 2 Research projects that contribute to developing and implementing Biofuel Facilities (Biofuel Sector) Jatropha Biofuel Sector Development in Tanzania and Zambia Biofuel Project in Kabwe (Marli) Biofuel Project in Leguruki (TaTEDO)

Opportunities -Improved energy security; -Reduce oil dependency - Reduce Household pollution - Provide a new source of agricultural income and rural development; - Internal market development; - Vulnerability to price volatility reduced; - Reduced GHG emissions. Risks - The expansion of the agricultural frontier- Biodiversity; -Deforestation; - Monocropping; - Water pollution; - Competition for inputs – food security -Poor labour conditions -Land access -Unfair distribution of the benefits along the value chain Risks - The expansion of the agricultural frontier- Biodiversity; -Deforestation; - Monocropping; - Water pollution; - Competition for inputs – food security -Poor labour conditions -Land access -Unfair distribution of the benefits along the value chain
