Energy in the Transition from Rural Subsistence
edited by Miguel S. Wionczek, Gerald Foley, and Ariane van Buren
For the half of the world's population still dependent on wood and other traditional fuels for basic cooking and heating needs, a serious supply crisis is emerging: forests are disappearing and population pressure on other energy sources is mounting. This book analyzes the energy problems of those caught in the trap of rural subsistence and explores the role energy might play in the transition away from subsistence. It includes eight specially commissioned studies of different developing countries and a review of the small-scale energy technologies presently available for rural use.
Miguel S. Bionczek is senior fellow and head of the Long-Term Energy Research Project at El Colegio de Mexico. He has been deputy director general of the National Science and Technology Council, Mexico. Gerald Foley is a senior fellow of the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) in London and senior visiting research fellow of the Beijer Institute of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Guide
This book is an attempt to define the problem - or complex of problems - of energy demand and supply in the poorest agricultural sectors of the developing world.
Some 2000 million people now depend on wood and animal dung for their cooking and heating needs. The merciless arithmetic of population growth and depleting forests is depriving them of these resources on which their survival depends. The fossil fuels they need to increase production of food and raise their standards of living move even further out of reach as developing country economies crumble in the face of world economic recession.
Up to now most people in the rural areas of the developing world have simply gathered their fuel from the countryside around them in the same way as they have always done. It has been an unnoticed and apparently self-sustaining process. Rural energy has not needed to figure in the plans or calculations of national planners. Only in recent years has there begun the systematic and widespread data-collection which is essential for policy-making.
Efforts to deal with rural energy problems, whether by national governments or international agencies, have so far been sporadic; they have also shown few signs of being adequate to the task. There have been some examples of successful tree-planting on a large scale Korea is notable; China has shown that it is possible to install biogas digesters at the rate of a million a year - though there are signs that the programme has now run into serious difficulties. Apart from that there is little else to show. Solar pumps, windmills, solar cookers, and so on have failed to make the connection with the people they are meant to benefit. Objects of external experiment, they sit too often irrelevantly apart from the deteriorating conditions about them.
What, then, can usefully be done? There is no lack of good will or technical skills, and there are substantial resources available. More could certainly be obtained if promising lines of action could be identified.
This book is the result of an 18 month collaborative effort by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), El Colegio de Mexico, the Technical Assistance Department of the Netherlands Foreign Ministry, and the Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) of the Federal German Republic. Its aim is to begin to sketch the outline of future energy strategies to cope with rural energy problems.
To provide a starting point, a paper delineating the area of investigation was prepared and circulated. It was the basis for a series of meetings between the organising institutions and the funding agencies. A formal background paper was then written and sent, with a request for comments and information, to potential participants in administrative and academic positions in developing countries, and to key people in development agencies with a special interest in energy. Following this, a brief was prepared and case-studies from eight developing countries were commissioned. In addition, a paper describing the present position in small-scale technology suitable for rural use was included to provide an informed technical background.
