The Ethiopian Minigrid Extension and Energy Storage (EMEES) project will further develop an innovative biomass conversion technology (PyroPower) which received Energy Catalyst funding (grant 105268). The project is effectively a Feasibility Study which will assess the viability of setting up an in-country demonstration plant in Ethiopia. The project defines 3 distinct market opportunities as outputs of the technology, which address energy storageopportunities which will benefit urban and rural communities in Ethiopia. The market opportunities are: 1) direct provision and extension of electricitythrough biomass-powered minigrids and rechargeable lithium battery storage options; 2) provision of an upgraded bio-oil/biodiesel fuel blend which will replace fossil-derived fuels in internal combustion engines; and 3) a smokeless biochar which can be briquetted or pelletised for use in localmarkets, as a replacement for traditional firewood and charcoal for cleaner cooking options, or exported as a foreign exchange-earning commodity.

埃塞俄比亚微型电网扩展和储能（EMEES）项目将进一步开发创新的生物质转化技术（PyroPower），该技术获得了能源催化剂的资助（赠款105268）。该项目实际上是一项可行性研究，将评估在埃塞俄比亚建立国内示范工厂的可行性。该项目将3个不同的市场机会定义为该技术的产出，这些机会将使埃塞俄比亚的城市和农村社区受益。市场机会是：1）通过生物质动力微型电网和可充电锂电池存储选项直接提供和扩展电力; 2）提供升级的生物油/生物柴油混合燃料，以取代内燃机中的化石燃料;以及3）无烟生物炭，其可被压块或制成颗粒用于当地市场，作为传统木柴和木炭的替代品用于更清洁的烹饪选择，或作为出口创汇商品。
