RRP Sector Assessment (Summary): Energy

Turkmenistan–Uzbekistan–Tajikistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan (TUTAP), the Central Asia South Asia (CASA) power project, and gas imports from Turkmenistan into Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India (TAPI) would provide Afghanistan with transit revenues and energy security through energy offtake in Afghanistan.

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.

Afghanistan: Energy System Overview

GOAL: to promote an understanding, on a global scale, of the dynamics of change in energy systems, quantify emissions and their impacts, and accelerate the transition to carbon-neutral, environmentally benign energy systems while providing affordable energy to all.

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
