Tunisia Invests in Renewable Energies
Major developments of solar energy and other renewable resources is expected in Tunisia during the next few years.
Tunisian magazine Réalités (FR) writes that by 2010 a total of 400,000 square meters of solar captors are expected to be set up in Tunisia.
There also will be a new program to facilitate the acquisition of solar heaters by households through a motivating credit financing scheme.
Several institutions such as the National Agency for the Control of Energies, the Global Environment Facility, the United Nations and the World Bank are backing this project.
Since the 80's Tunisia has followed a strategy geared towards the promotion of renewable energies such as solar energy, wind power and the increasing use of natural gas in air conditioning.
I think this is great!
I totally believe that we should all get rid of our dependance on oil and move towards cleaner and cheaper energy sources. I think this is a really good step forward for Tunisia.

If we're moving away from Oil, we should try and not move to something that is even worse for the environment.
It'd be like taking away all those dirty gas omissions and replacing them with radioactive waste.
Hi, I was wondering how well known agrichar is in Tunisia? This simple idea - invented in Australia and described here: http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/s2012892.htm
- has got a lot of Australian farmers with vast tracts of poor soil, as in your country, really excited.
You can farm soil for carbon sequestration, improving its yield at the same time as producing biofuels to drive the creation of fine charcoals that build soil productivity. We need a program to introduce this idea especially in Africa, I reckon.
