Waste to Energy is a Suitable option for municipal Solid Waste Management and a source of renewable energy. Generation of massive waste due to population growth and urbanization and an energy down turn in Zambia particularly Ndola is a daunting task for the city. The purpose of this study was to...

In an effort to mitigate post-harvest losses (PHL) of agricultural products from farmers and the markets, greenhouse solar dryers (GSD) have been extensively employed by various stakeholders. The operation of these conventional GSD is though allowing cool or cold ambient air to enter them during...

Zambia’s transport sector is driven by imported and costly fossil fuels. Apart from the cost element, fossil fuels are finite. The source is depleting as it is being extracted continuously. Fossil fuels are also pollutants to environment. They contribute 70% of global carbon monoxide (CO) and 19%...

Zambia’s electricity is largely from hydro power which has an installed capacity of 2,347 MW representing 96 % of national consumption while the remaining 4 % is from other sources such as fossil fuels. With low level of rainfall recorded in the past few years, Zambia was left grappling with...

The aim of this research is to facilitate informed decision making for an optimal cost-based allocation of future electricity generation resources in Zambia. Such a study is cardinal in order to find out which energy technologies are economically viable from a long-term perspective for our...
