Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for non-coniferous wood fuel in Mauritania grew steadily from 2.17 million m³ in 2018 to 2.38 million m³ in 2023, reflecting a consistent annual increase and a total expansion of roughly 10% over the six-year period. This upward trend occurred alongside concerted efforts to manage forest resources and reduce dependence on traditional wood energy.

Authorities implemented strategies such as the management of classified forests, the promotion of improved cooking stoves like the Fayda model, and the introduction of butanization in major urban centers to provide alternatives and alleviate pressure on woodlands. A national tree week was also institutionalized to foster reforestation and sustainable consumption practices.

The regulatory landscape evolved with the 2022 Electricity Code (Law No. 2022-027), which set new rules for the energy sector and could influence biomass markets. The state-owned gas company SOMAGAZ supported the shift by supplying butane as an alternative fuel, while natural and human-induced factors continued to drive deforestation, highlighting the ongoing tension between market demand and conservation initiatives.
