Toby Price: According to Gulf News, Hadi Husani, CEO of Aga Khan Planning and Building Service in Pakistan, has said that he believes biomass has more potential to become a more affordable source of renewable energy than solar and wind.
During a recent interview with Gulf News, the head of the Pakistani non-governmental organisation, Aga Khan Planning and Building Service (which was shortlisted for this year’s Zayed Future Energy Prize for its efforts to create sustainable and energy-efficient communities), said up to 2.7 billion people around the world could be reliant on biomass for their heating and cooking needs in 2030. This represents a rise of 0.3 billion from the current figure, and far exceeds the number of people benefitting from solar and wind power.
“Access to energy is still a major challenge for a large number of communities particularly in the developing world”, Hadi Husani said.
