本レビューは、ナイジェリア・ヨベ州におけるパールミレット副産物（殻、茎、糠）の家庭用調理燃料としての可能性を評価。発熱量13-18 MJ/kgで、練炭化により薪や炭の代替となり、森林減少緩和やGHG削減に貢献。しかし技術的知識不足や政策支援の欠如が普及の障壁。
English
This review assesses the viability of pearl millet by-products as household cooking fuel in Yobe State, Nigeria. With calorific values of 13-18 MJ/kg, densified briquettes can replace firewood and charcoal, reducing deforestation and GHG emissions. Adoption is constrained by limited technical knowledge and policy support.

In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global discourse on clean cooking and biomass energy in semi-arid regions, relevant to SDG 7 and climate resilience, though limited to a specific West African context.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Biomass energy researchers can find useful data on millet residue calorific values and briquetting potential.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers in semi-arid regions can consider decentralized briquetting systems for clean energy access.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This review assesses the viability of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) by-products as a renewable household cooking fuel in Yobe State, Nigeria, and explores how their utilisation can contribute to climate change resilience in a semi-arid context. A narrative literature review was conducted using sources retrieved from Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and institutional reports, with studies selected based on their relevance to biomass energy, agricultural residues, and comparable semi-arid or sub-Saharan African contexts. The review synthesises evidence on the agronomic significance of pearl millet, the physicochemical and energy characteristics of its residues (husks, stalks, and bran), and their suitability for briquette production. Findings indicate that pearl millet by-products possess calorific values ranging between 13 and 18 MJ/kg, making them viable alternatives to firewood and charcoal when densified into briquettes. Their utilisation offers environmental benefits including reduced deforestation, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improved agricultural waste management. Socioeconomic advantages include local income generation, reduced household fuel costs, and enhanced gender equity through decreased fuelwood collection burdens. However, adoption is constrained by limited technical knowledge, absence of formal policy support, inadequate financing mechanisms, and insufficient localised emissions data. The review concludes that harnessing pearl millet by-products through decentralised briquetting systems, integration into national renewable energy frameworks, and targeted capacity-building represents a practical and context-appropriate pathway for promoting clean energy access and strengthening climate resilience in Yobe State and comparable semi-arid regions of West Africa.
