ENERGY IN MALI Firewood and charcoal account for 90% of Mali's energy. Women currently are in charge of gathering the firewood and selling it on the roadside, making up a majority of their household income. Fossil fuel imports account for 8% of the national energy, and have a critical effect on the weak economy. Mali, however, has rich renewable energy sources, especially biomass. |
