Scientists find two tree species with potential to generate clean electricity

Scientists in Rwanda have identified two tree species, Senna siamea and Gliricidia sepium, with potential to generate clean electricity for rural areas. These fast-growing trees have dense wood and high calorific values, making them effective alternatives to fossil fuels for power generation in isolated communities. The project aims to help Rwanda achieve its goal of universal electricity access by 2030 while also providing other benefits like improving soil quality and combating climate change.
