Boma Simeon AngaChairman,
NEPAD PAN AFRICAN CASSAVA INITIATIVE.
Why the use of ethanol for Cooking? The rationale: The costs of fossil fuels are rising and so are the
budgets of most African Countries who spend an average of 55-60% of national budget on importation and subsidization of liquid petroleum fuels for their domestic economies.
African countries cannot cope with this rising cost. Most African economies may experience stagnation & worsen the poverty trap except alternative bio fuels are produced to substitute the unsustainable imports of petroleum.
This project when successfully implemented will put the tools in the hands of African investors & Governments for establishing efficient low cost fuel ethanol projects targeting the replacement of paraffin and gasoline.
Long lines await delivery of kerosene in a fuel station.
Replacing kerosene with ethanol is financially more rewarding than replacing gasoline, since Nigeria pays more for kerosene.
The retail fuel market in Nigeria has been plagued by high prices, scarcities, and quality problems. Purchasing fuels from abroad creates a FOREX problem.

Our tests show that alcohol fuels used in the CleanCook stove are
the cleanest and safest alternative for the 80%+ of homes in the developing world that do not have adequate or reliable access to electricity.
PM10 are small soot particles 10 μ in size or less. PM10
indicates that even smaller, more dangerous particles are present.

What is the potential for ethanol to be an
economical household fuel?
The household market is different from the vehicle fuel market
and needs to be treated somewhat differently.
The vehicle fuel market is inherently inflationary for alcohol
fuels, because they are much cheaper to manufacture than
petroleum fuels yet can be sold at or near the price of
petroleum fuels when used as an additive or substitute.
The alcohol fuels do not need to be subsidized for the
household fuel market, but they do need to be “sheltered” from
the vehicle fuel market by supportive government policy. It
should be reiterated that because alcohols are cheap to
manufacture, no subsidies are needed.
Ethanol as fuel for stoves, generators cars, buses and lamps will be available everywhere (as telephone handsets now are, yet much cheaper…
Imagine a soon coming Africa where…

The Cassakero VISION
“To provide Nigeria with a locally made agro-based bio-fuel for household use that will be available, affordable and accessible, creating sustainable new jobs and reducing poverty while enhancing food and energy security in the nation. “
PROJECT MISSION
“To establish a dedicated national bio-ethanol output of 4 million liters per day produced from integrated small scale-bio ethanol refineries to provide the household fuel requirement of 4 million families in four years (2010-2014).”

The Cassakero Cooking fuelCassakero is safe and easy to handle and user friendly. it is less volatile and as a bio-fuel, it is easily absorbed into the environment with no known health hazard. The ethanol will be denatured with Bitrex, a bitter substance to render it undrinkable, and a colorant to give it a distinguishing color.
In 2002, kerosene, which was subsidized, cost 32¢ per liter. Kerosene is priced in the “official” market today at about 80¢ and in the black market at well over $1.00 per liter. It is often adulterated with gasoline since gasoline is now cheaper.

right is a cylindrical Chinese kerosene stove, which she purchased at the price
of N3,800 (US$ 32.00) in June 2006. Note the thick layer of soot all around the
kettle placed on the kerosene stove. She said the kerosene stove started
developing fault just 7 months after its first use. She said she abandoned the
kerosene stove for the CleanCook stove when she received it for the pilot study.
Surprised by how quickly the
CleanCook stove warmed her kettle of
water, Mrs. Agnes Gilala of Warri study
location exclaims with regard to the
speed it took the water to boil.
