加强能源安全和促进发展的需要，特别是在农村地区，迫使南部非洲的许多发展中国家，如莫桑比克，采取若干行动，发展若干基础设施和立法，以生产和使用液体生物燃料。这项研究的主要目的是介绍莫桑比克的能源状况，评估广泛使用的可再生能源，包括农作物和林业的残留物产生能源的潜力。该国在生物燃料、太阳能、水力和风能生产方面具有巨大潜力。然而，今天的能源生产远远不能满足国家的能源需求，大多数人仍然没有从这些资源中受益。农业部门和林业部门的总残留潜力估计约为128PJ。这一能源量几乎占木炭和木柴总产量的一半，2006年约为298 PJ。然而，如此多的能源资源被浪费了，在国家能源统计中看不到。
The need to increase energy security and promote development, especially in rural areas has forced many developing countries in southern Africa, like Mozambique to take several actions toward development of several infrastructures and legislations for production and use of liquid biofuels. The main objective of this study is to present the energy situation in Mozambique and assess the potential for energy generation from widely available renewable sources including residues from agricultural crops and forest industry. The country is endowed with great potential for biofuels, solar, hydro and wind energy production. The energy production today is, however, far from fulfilling energy needs of the country, and the majority of people are still not benefiting from these resources. The potential of total residues from agricultural sector and forest industry is estimated to be around 128PJ. This amount of energy covers almost half of the combined production of charcoal and firewood which amounted to approximately 298PJ in 2006. However, such amount of energy resources is wasted and is not visible on national energy statistics.
