- W76529242 abstract "ABSTRACT At the core of this paper is the assumption that if the development process is to be a successful one in the Third World, then increasing supplies of energy must be available to both the agricultural and industrial sectors. Given the fact that the costs of petroleum-based fuel will continue to rise, developing countries will be more and more hardpressed to import these products easily, and the prospect of alternative, decentralized, and renewable energy sources will become correspondingly more attractive. In order to set into context the mechanics of Third World development and the role of alternative energy systems in that process, a brief overview of the shared characteristics of Third World economic systems in presented. The central role of agriculture, the generally high rate of population growth, and the predominant strategy of industrialization are all discussed in light of the steadily growing rate of energy consumption in LDCs. A survey of the alternative technologies most appropriate for application in Third World rural settings — where 70-80% of the population of a typical LDC live—is set forth in a generalized, non-technical fashion. They include hydroelectric power; wood-fired steam electric power; photovoltaics; wind power; anaerobic decomposition of wastes; geothermal power; fermentation of biomass for alcohol fuels; and other less known, but equally promising systems of energy production and conservation. The means by which energy programs can be established in LDCs is explored, with particular attention to the creation of regional energy institutes for country-specific adaptation of practicable, alternative energy systems. Further, the various functions of such institutes, as well as the likely shape of their technical and financial underpinnings, is briefly treated in this paper. Lastly, the threefold challenge of Third World energy supply is discussed: the resolving of outstanding technical problems; securing the full commitment of LDC leadership to alternative energy use; and the continued support of the developed world in technical and institution-building areas." @default.
