Energy in Afghanistan

OverviewBiomass and biogasHydroelectricityImported electricityCrude oil and natural gasCoalSolar and wind farmsLithium and uranium

Besides wind and sun, potential alternative energy sources for Afghanistan include biomass, biogas, and geothermal energy. Biogas plants are fueled by animal dung, and produce a clean, odourless and smokeless fuel. The digestion process also creates a high-quality fertilizer which can benefit the family farm. Family-sized biogas plants require 50 kilograms of manure per day to support the average famil

Energy in Afghanistan

Theoretically, Afghanistan has the potential to produce about 1,400 million cubic meters of biogas annually. A quarter of this amount could meet half of Afghanistan''s energy needs, according to a January 2011 report from the United States National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Afghans Struggle To Heat Homes Amid Soaring Winter Fuel Prices

Many people in Afghanistan''s central province of Daikundi are struggling to heat their homes this winter with fuel costs soaring. Coal is one of the most common fuels but has become hard to...

Climate change in Afghanistan

In Afghanistan, climate change has led to a temperature increase of 1.8 °C since 1950. This has caused far-reaching impacts on Afghanistan, culminating from overlapping interactions of natural disasters (due to changes in the climate system), conflict, agricultural dependency, and severe socio-economic hardship.

Heating Fuel and NFI

The availability of daily labour decreases significantly during winter, leaving households with lower incomes at the same time as needing to spend additional money on household heating. This extreme vulnerability leaves households unable to fulfil their basic food or heating needs in winter, placing residents of the KIS at a higher risk of
