OSTI ID:6532325
Jamaica, with a virtual total dependence on imported oil, must develop alternative energy sources if expected GNP growth rates are to be achieved. This study selectively assesses alternative energy techniques and places Jamaica's various energy options in perspective according to anticipated levels of energy demand. The major energy options considered include use of coal and peat in industry and electric generation; promotion of energy conservation in industry, transportation, and utilities; hydropower; solar power; and biomass generation.
