Analyse des facteurs de gestion de la biomasse solide par l’approche des indicateurs de durabilité en République Démocratique du Congo

This article focuses on the analysis of the current management factors of solid biomass (SB) by the approach of sustainability indicators in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) from the perspective of the sustainable management of the resource. Thus, the chapter focuses on three major axes. These are, first of all, the factors acting on the SB sector through the technical aspects, ranging from production to carbonization, removal, harvesting, transport and marketing of solid biomass in the DRC. Then, we are interested in the regulatory aspects applied to SB in the DRC. Finally, we focus on organizational and institutional factors, as well as those of forest governance in the DRC.With regard to the key axes listed above, the need to bring out a model of reliable and tangible responses with, as a result, the management and use of SB, thus respecting the principles of sustainable development, is essential in the DRC. . The sustainability indicators resulting from the comparison set up by the GBEP and the indicators of the DRC reveal, from an environmental point of view, land use and forestry without CO2 sequestration is 380,000 KtCO2 eq.On the social level, it should be noted that the DRC had 73 million inhabitants in 2011. However, 65% of this population lived in village environments. These inhabitants depended on forest resources for survival and on BS for energy. On the economic level, the country’s supply in 2014 was 31,337 ktoe, of which 94% for BS, 2 ktoe for the product derived from petroleum and only 1%, considered for electricity.
