The article presents a framework for the analysis of alternative energy technology mixes in agricultural production and applies it in the context of sisal production in the Tanga region, Tanzania. Through scenario analysis, the paper presents both case-specific and generalizable insights. Case-specific insights show the key role that modern uses of energy and modern agricultural technologies could play in increasing productivity and revenues, in minimizing environmental degradation, and in promoting local development. Generalizable insights demonstrate the value of using sector-specific micro-structural frameworks and scenario analysis for assessing different technologies mixes in the energy and agriculture planning process. date: 2016-11 date_type: published publisher: ELSEVIER SCI LTD official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2016.09.029 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1767925 doi: 10.1016/j.enpol.2016.09.029 lyricists_name: Andreoni, Antonio lyricists_id: AANDA82 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Energy Policy volume: 98 pagerange: 544-556 pages: 13 issn: 0301-4215 citation: Nerini, FF; Andreoni, A; Bauner, D; Howells, M; (2016) Powering production.
