D. R. Congo

DRC implemented both project components. Under component 1, the ground demonstration focused on waste to energy, where general and organic waste was converted to biogas and fuel briquettes. This covered NDC priorities in energy, forestry and waste management. Work was done at two sites – the “Higher Institute of Applied Techniques” premises in Ndolo municipality was used for biogas production (organic waste to biogas) and households in Barumbu municipality were used for testing the briquettes (general solid waste to fuel briquettes), also produced in Ndolo.

Under component 2, the country modified the Model for Assessment of Energy Demand (MAED) model to forecast simultaneous climate and socio-economic impacts of investing in waste-to-energy systems towards meeting the national development priority to distribute 1 million improved cookstoves.
