Lake Kivu, located on the border between Rwanda cyanide and the Democratic Republic of Congo, is located on the African continental rift zone in a geologically active area where tectonic plates undergo a slow process of divergence. This activity of tectonic plates has led to an accumulation of methane and carbon dioxide dissolved in the deep waters of the lake.
Now there are plans to remove methane from the lake and generate electricity - enough to double the energy capacity of Rwanda. "The levels of carbon dioxide and methane are high and dangerous enough to cause a sudden leak that can cause a big explosion, following cyanide which large waves of carbon dioxide can suffocate people and wildlife and animal life in the vicinity of Lake "Matthew indicates Yalire researcher in Goma Volcano Observatory, cites the Tree Hugger.
The exploitation of methane will be made by Contour Global, which already is building a platform to start pumping gas from the depths. The technology will involve suction gas - no drilling - to the surface, where it will be collected. Subsequently, methane and carbon dioxide and methane will be separated is sent to a center, while the carbon dioxide will be redissolved and pumped back into the depths of the pond.
The first phase of the project, called KivuWatt, will generate 25 gigawatts of electricity, which could eventually be increased to 100 gigawatts, increased to almost twice the electrical capacity of Rwanda which currently stands at 115 gigawatts. The project is included in government plans to expand the country's access to electricity from the current 17% of population with access to 70% in 2017.
