[RwandaLibre] Re: Rwanda's deadly methane lake becomes source of future power

 

Mr Venant,
La concrétisation matérielle des grands projets comme celui-ci
représente un défi financier. C'est ce qui explique qu'ils restent
lettre morte pendant des années. Même quand ils commencent leur succès
n'est pas garanti.

Comment expliquer que le Rwanda dont moins de 18% est électrifié
depuis des millénaires, va passer à 70% en 3 ans seulement:
"Rwanda aims to ensure 70 percent of the households connected to
electricity by 2017. Currently only 18 percent of Rwandan households
have access to electricity."

Quant à l'ingénieur Léopold Mugabo, s'il détient les brevets
d'invention ("patents" en anglais) de ce projet, son nom devrait être
cité pcq j'ai déjà lu des articles sur ce projet dans de grandes
revues scientifiques qui ont bcp de rigueur sur le respect des
brevets.

80 pct of work on Rwanda's methane project completed - China.org.cn
54 minutes ago .

Eighty percent of the work on Rwanda' s KivuWatt Project in Karongi
district has been completed with production expected in September, an
official said.

State minister for energy Emma Francoise Isumbingabo made the
announcement Monday while touring the project with the African
Development Bank (AfDB) President Donald Kaberuka.

At least 25 megawatts will be added to the national electricity grid
from methane gas extraction in September this year, the minister said.

"Eighty percent of the work under phase one is done and at least by
September, production should be starting," Isumbingabo said.

Isumbingabo expressed disappointment that the project which was
initially supposed to be completed in January 2012, had taken longer
than expected due to financial, technical and environmental
challenges.

Rwanda aims to ensure 70 percent of the households connected to
electricity by 2017. Currently only 18 percent of Rwandan households
have access to electricity.

The KivuWatt project started in 2009 and it is managed by Contour
Global Company which signed a 25-year power purchase agreement with
the Rwandan government.

The project, partly financed by the AfDB, has so far invested 180
million U.S. dollars. End.

Chers sibomana et autres, c'est bien que des puissants de ce monde
s'interessent aujourd'hui a l'exploitation a grande echelle de ce gaz
methane du lac Kivu.

J'espere qu'ils ont marque quelque part dans un petit coin que ce fut
un Ir nomme Leopold Mugabo originaire de Byumba qui deja du temps
d'Habayarimana, dirigeat un petit projet pilot d'exploitation de ce
gaz a Gisenyi pres la BraLiRwa. Je vois encore l'image de cet
ingenieur avec son petit vehicule deja hybride (puisqu'en partie il
roulait avec ce gaz dans une bombone)....
Et oui, soyons honnete en reconnaissant aux anciens qu'ils nous ont
montre la lune, sans pouvoir helas nous faire alunir!

Le Troisième Mandat de Louise Mushikiwabo à l'OIF : Entre Précédent et Principe Démocratique.

Le Troisième Mandat de Louise Mushikiwabo à l'OIF : Entre Précédent et Principe Démocratique. L'Alternance à l'OIF : Pourquoi un Troisième Mandat Fragilise la Crédibilité de la Francophonie. Introduction Louise Mushikiwabo veut un troisième mandat à la tête de l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Son annonce, faite bien avant l'émergence d'autres candidats, rappelle une tactique familière en Afrique : affirmer qu'on a le soutien populaire sans jamais le prouver publiquement. La méthode est rodée. Des dirigeants africains l'utilisent depuis des décennies pour prolonger leur règne. Ils clament que "le peuple le demande" ou que "les partenaires soutiennent" cette reconduction. Aucune preuve formelle n'est nécessaire. L'affirmation devient réalité politique. Mais voilà le problème : la Francophonie prêche la démocratie, l'État de droit et l'alternance au pouvoir. Peut-elle tolérer en son sein ce qu...

Rubaya Mine Under USA’s Control: Kagame Has No Grounds to Object.

Rubaya Mine: Strategic Interests, Regional Conflict and the DRC–USA Cooperation Framework Rubaya mine, located in Masisi territory in North Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, is a Congolese resource. It was a Congolese resource before the M23 advanced on it, it remains a Congolese resource today, and it will remain a Congolese resource regardless of what any regional actor claims, implies or pursues. That is not a political position. It is a statement of international law and sovereign right. This foundational point must be stated plainly because it is frequently obscured in discussions about the conflict in eastern Congo. Debates about security narratives, mineral partnerships and geopolitical alignment risk creating a false impression that Rubaya's ownership or governance is somehow open to negotiation between external parties. It is not. The Democratic Republic of the Congo holds sovereign authority over its territory and its natural resources. N...

Rubaya Mine Under U.S. Oversight: Why Kigali Would Struggle to Justify Opposition

Rubaya Mine Under U.S. Oversight: Why Kigali Would Struggle to Justify Opposition   The proposed transfer of operational oversight of the Rubaya mine in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to the United States marks a potentially decisive shift in one of Central Africa's most contentious economic and security flashpoints. Located in North Kivu province, the Rubaya site is one of the world's most significant sources of coltan, a mineral essential to global electronics supply chains. For months, the area has been associated with the presence of armed actors, including the rebel group M23. Rwanda has repeatedly justified its regional posture by pointing to security threats posed by the FDLR, an armed group with roots in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide. However, if the mine were to come under transparent U.S.-backed administration as part of a broader cooperation framework between Kinshasa and Washington, Kigali would face limited diplomatic grounds to...
