Zimbabwe : industrial and commercial energy use

Abstract

The papers published in this book represent the collective and individual thoughts of the working group on commercial and industrial energy use of the Zimbabwe Energy Accouting Project (ZEAP) and the Ministry of Water and Energy Resources and Development of the Government of Zimbabwe. The first paper is a concept paper and it represents an attempt to sketch out the remainder of the ZEAP in the areas of commercial, industrial, and urban energy use. The next three papers present findings of surveys of energy use patterns in the formal industrial, the transport, and the informal industrial sectors of the economy. The final two papers represent formal models which were developed for the analysis undertaken as part of the ZEAP.
