In 2016, Rwanda began extracting methane gas from Lake Kivu, an innovative project designed to reduce the risk of a deadly spontaneous gas release while providing clean and renewable power to an energy-strapped region. Based on qualitative research in Rwanda from 2016 to 2019, Doughty, Uwizeye, and Uwimana use the Kivu methane extraction project to ask, How do we balance urgent electrification needs with responsible energy policies that respond to environmental risks, particularly in post-conflict contexts? Analyzing the Kivu methane projects as “green extractive humanitarianism” provides cautions within the promises of sustainability and “green capitalism.”

2016 年，卢旺达开始从基伍湖提取甲烷气体，这是一个创新项目，旨在降低致命的自发气体释放风险，同时为能源匮乏的地区提供清洁和可再生能源。基于 2016 年至 2019 年在卢旺达进行的定性研究，Doughty、Uwizeye 和 Uwimana 使用基伍甲烷提取项目提出问题：我们如何平衡紧迫的电气化需求与应对环境风险的负责任能源政策，尤其是在冲突后背景下？将基伍甲烷项目分析为“绿色提取人道主义”，在可持续性和“绿色资本主义”的承诺范围内提供了警告。
