ETUDE DE FAISABILITE ECONOMIQUE SUR LE COMPOST ET LE BIOGAZ EN COTE D’IVOIRE

The report evaluates the economic potential of compost and biogas in Côte d'Ivoire using a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. It finds that both sectors can positively impact GDP, job creation, and GHG reduction, though they affect different economic branches differently. Biogas shows a slightly higher potential for green growth and GHG avoidance, while compost has a stronger link to agricultural and administrative employment. The study highlights a lack of clear legal frameworks and recommends integrating waste valorization into the National Development Plan and providing financial incentives for investors.

• The current legal and institutional frameworks for compost and biogas in Côte d'Ivoire are underdeveloped. For compost, the "cadre institutionnel et juridique sur le compost est quasiment inexistant", and for biogas, "textes réglementaires précis n’existent donc pas encore pour encadrer la production du biogaz".
• The compost sector is currently limited to a few actors, with only two companies—Green Countries and Biofertil—engaged in continuous production for commercialization. The value chain is described as "quasi inexistante".
• The biogas sector is characterized by a lack of a known value chain, with most initiatives being for internal consumption by agro-industrial companies. However, a major biomass plant with a capacity of 46 MW is under construction in the Aboisso region, expected to serve 1.7 million people annually by mid-2023.
• Simulations indicate that increasing compost production by 5%, 10%, and 20% would increase real GDP by 2.5%, 4.88%, and 9.65% respectively. Similarly, increasing biogas production by the same percentages would raise real GDP by 2.79%, 5.47%, and 10.87%.
• Compost and biogas have divergent impacts on sectoral employment. Compost production increases employment in agriculture and administration but decreases it in the industrial sector. Conversely, biogas production significantly increases employment in the industrial and service sectors but leads to a decrease in administrative employment.
• Biogas is found to be more effective than compost in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the reference scenario, compost avoids 21,664.8 tonnes of CO2 equivalent, while biogas avoids 24,532.2 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
• Investment needs are more pronounced in the compost sector than in the biogas sector. Simulations show that a 20% increase in production leads to an 18.09% increase in investment demand for compost and a 17.55% increase for biogas.
