Zambia, though totally landlocked, is totally landlinked to 8 neighbouring countries. The country lies between o S of equator. It is a tropical country, and the high altitude ( m above sea level) gives conducive climate. The land has potential for a large array of crops, livestock and fish production. Distinct seasons provide exceptional natural advantages for agriculture. Agriculture is currently largely rainfall dependent, and the country is divided into 3 agro-ecological zones based on rainfall. 5

Agroecological zones of Zambia Zone I: Zone 1 is a relatively dry area with less than 800 mm annual rainfall. Zone IIa: This has annual rainfall in the range of 800 mm to 1000 mm. Zone IIb: covers the Kalahari sand plateau and Zambezi flood plains. Zone III: This is a high rainfall area with amounts exceeding 1000 mm per year.

TOO MANY RISKS IN PETROLEUM FUELS SUPPLY MAKE ZAMBIA’S ECONOMY VOLATILE AND INSECURE 14

For Zambia, biofuels are therefore a solid and sustainable option. We will soon see why. WHICH WAY ZAMBIA? 15

WHAT ARE BIOFUELS? Biofuels can be defined as combustible fuels produced from biomass. These fuels are generally in the form of alcohols, esters, ethers, and other chemicals produced from biomass. THE MAJOR FUELS FOR THIS DISCUSSION ARE: 1.Bioethanol (as a petrol substitute), and 2.Biodiesel / pure plant oil (as a diesel substitute) 16
