Opportunities for transition to clean household energy in the

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), 95% of the country''s energy supply is made up of biomass. It is the form of energy most in-demand in rural areas where approximately 65% of the Congolese population live. Household and ambient air pollution from burning biomass cause high levels of non-communicable disease and premature death.

ENERGY PROFILE Democratic Republic of the Congo

emissions from renewable power is calculated as renewable generation divided by fossil fuel generation multiplied by reported emissions from the power sector. This assumes that, if renewable power did not exist, fossil fuels would be used in its place to generate the same amount of power and using the same mix of fossil fuels. In countries and
