Contribution of Biomass to the Mitigation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions During Electricity Production by 2050 in Cameroon

This work aims to solve the environmental problem of the hottest greenhouse gas reduction. The paper identifies the energy electricity demand, proposes solutions, and calculates the greenhouse gases emitted in each of the interconnected networks available in Cameroon. For this purpose, it is necessary to develop the hydroelectric potential associated with the potential of wood biomass and household waste. The country's electricity production also remains heavily dependent on petroleum products., main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the environment. The energy electricity demand in the median economic scenario is the basis of this study. GHGs were calculated using the tool MESSAGE (Model for Energy Supply Strategy Alternatives and their General Environment impacts. The results of this study show that it will be possible, without taking into account the fact that biomass is clean energy, to avoid 461.7913 kt of CO 2 eq and 13.8836 kt of CO 2 eq for South Interconnected Network (RIS) and East Interconnected Network (RIE) respectively. This study shows that, to contribute to the protection of the environment, it is better to use biomass instead of fossil fuels for the production of electricity in the RIS of Cameroon
