B- Solid Biomass Energy in the Arab Countries
Solid biomass energy is used in the Arab countries for cooking
and heating, especially in remote areas. However, these resources
are relatively limited due to the semi- arid nature of most lands.
Agricultural, animal and timber waste are the main source of
biomass.
6. Ocean and Tidal Power
According to the IEA statistics, the total installed ocean and tidal
power energy in its member countries in 2010 remained unchanged
from previous years where France accounted for 240 MW, Canada
for 20 MW, and the UK for 1 MW.
