Gail Karlsson, ENERGIA – the International Network on Gender and Sustainable Energy Presentation summary for Stockholm Environment Institute side event at WIREC: North-South-South Forum on Biofuels, Climate and Sustainable Development, March 7, 2008 Engaging Women in Small-Scale Production of Biofuels for Rural Energy Rapidly expanding biofuel plantations for international trade raise serious human rights and food security issues. A UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Jean Ziegler (UN Doc, A/62/289), reports growing concerns about: • food shortages affecting the world’s poorest people, • increasing competition over land, forests, and natural resources, and possible evictions of small peasant farmers and indigenous communities, • increased competition over water resources. Women are likely to be disproportionately affected by large-scale biofuel production in regions where women are the ones primarily responsible for collecting fuel and water for household needs, growing food

June,2011. June,2011. June,2011. Deforestation and forest degradation is the cause of around 18-20% of greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming. Growing concerns about the impacts of climate change have generated interest in developing mechanisms to slow down deforestation and degradation rates. The concept of REDD is a proposal to provide financial incentives to help developing countries voluntarily reduce national deforestation rates and associated carbon emissions below a baseline (based either on a historical reference case or fut

‘Farmers can realize over N2. 5bn from planting Jatropha plant’ Written by Administrator Monday, 31 October 2011 16:49 How would you describe Jatropha plant to a layman understanding? Jatropha plant is a plant found in the arid zone of Nigeria. It’s a plant recognised by the United Nations Desertification Control as an intermediate solution to control desertification and above all, it’s also a plant using seeds and its oil can be refined into bio-diesel that is a renewable diesel. These are the two important aspects of the plant. Why should government or farmers invest in Jatropha as a business? First of all, if we want to mitigate the effect climate change we have to set up carbon-dioxide first, secondly to go into production of bio-fuel then thirdly, to reclaim degraded lands or to re-fertilize degraded land. So, as far as I am concerned, as a farmer, we are not interested really in life scale intensive farming plantation of here but rather w

require maintenance at costs of $300 per mile in 2006. A potential cost reduction could be realized in using this land to grow biofuel feedstock crops. The fuel made from these crops could then be used in the DOT’s fleets and other state vehicles. This project was initiated in 2007 in cooperation with the UDOT and Utah State University. The concept quickly caught the nation’s attention and a national alliance was proposed. This alliance would partner with DOTs and land grant colleges in the respective states along with federal government agencies and industry to reduce carbon footprinting and emissions, decrease America’s dependence on foreign oil and solidify our national security by the production of localized biofuel feed stocks. Who is the FreeWays to Fuel National Alliance? To date personnel from the following land grant universities are committed to the Alliance pending funding: Utah State University, Washington State University, University of Idaho, Montana State Universit
