Low Carbon Island 1ton CO2/capita/yr challenge-Cayman Islands

Cayman Islands import nearly all of oil and electricity from neighboring countries. Tourism accounts the larger share of the service sectors followed by insurance, banks and mutual funds. It has been identified that electricity generation and transportation consume major share of oil usage in the country recently. Renewable energy solutions including solar thermal, PV, wind, biofeuls development has been studied to determine their energy and CO2 emission reduction potential. Models of energy systems and their optimization have been carried out using HOMER and the total investment required and the feasibility has also been dealt with.

Energy scenarios

To determine the energy demand by 2030 and thereby estimate the CO2 emission per capita alternative energy scenarios can be developed; the business as usual (BAU) scenario and

Potential bioenergy options in developing and developed countries and their possible impact:PART ONE

Bioenergy is physical energy extracted from biomass. It can be electricity produced from biomass, cooling or heating, biofuels such as biogas, bioethanol, biodiesel and so on. It is an environmentally friendly, cost-effective and locally available source of energy. Developing countries can be benefited from these resources in creating income and labor opportunities, alleviating food security problems and poverty. In developed countries, bioenergy contributes a lot in reducing oil dependency and boosting their economy.

Agricultural energy crops

In the united sates, short rotation woody crops and herbaceous crops have attracted attention. Willow, eucalyptus is examples
