 Biomass (firewood, charcoal and residues) remains practically the only source for cooking for many years to come as electricity will remain too expensive in the medium future.

 The economic sectors with the highest potential for growth (agricultural processing, mining, tourism, IT) depend heavily on energy supply. The costs of electricity are very high at about US$0.21 per kWh. At the same time, due to the lack of electricity in rural areas, this reduces the efficiency of the social services (health, education and administration). The Government has a programme to provide all health centres and administrative centres and 50% of the schools with solar power if they are too far from the grid by 2012 and extend provision further to 100% of all schools by 2017. A number of special programmes are already under implementation.

This project will identify bioenergy options that are environmentally suitable in the Rwandan context. It will also help Rwanda to meet the targets set within its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The project will provide capacity building training to key stakeholders on how to bioenergy tools. The stakeholders include those who are working in the bioenergy sector and also those who are involved in the development of the Biomass Energy Strategy. <ref>http://rwandainspirer.com/2019/03/14/fao-ministry-of-environment-signed-mou-to-promote-food-and-energy-security/</ref>
