Abstract

This study provides ethnobotanical information on preferred local energy tree species based on biomass characteristics. The survey used a stratified sampling technique. The questionnaire covered different issues related to the consumers and biomass characteristics for energy utilization. The study computed use value, fidelity level, and factor informant consensus for the most frequently used energy tree species. According to the highest use values, respondents in the study area identified Acacia mellifera and Capparis deciduaas the most vital energy tree species. Sustained combustion is the most desired property for brickmaking, while bakeries and homes prefer haste ignition. Further research and laboratory testing of tree characteristics of selected species in energy plantations and agroforestry programmes in Sudan could help confirm the study results.
