The Environmental Challenges of Biomass Utilisation for Combined Heat and Power Generation in a Paper Mill in Tanzania
Sisty Basil Massawe (1), AO Olorunnisola (2) and A. Adenikinju (3)
An assessment of a questionnaire undertaken by villagers surrounding a paper mill in Tanzania on the environmental impact of using wood biomass for power generation. The article discusses: environmental management programmes; forest fires; problems associated with substitution of land away from agricultural use; pollution from lorries carrying wood to the mill; dust (ash) and odour concerns; and water pollution issues. The need for greater communication with the public was identified to mitigate many of these problems.
