Professor Iwayemi of University of Ibadan in Nigeria states that the “fundamental energy question facing Africa [is]…providing and maintaining widespread access of the population to reliable and affordable supplies of environmentally cleaner energy to meet the requirements of rapid economic growth and improved living standards.” [6] In ...
The applications of renewable energy technology has the potential to alleviate many of the problems that face Africans every day, especially if done in a sustainable manner that prioritizes human rights. Access to energy is essential for the reduction of poverty and promotion of economic growth.
Integrating energy sufficiency into modelling of sustainable energy scenarios (2020–2022) The IntSuf project aimed at integrating knowledge about the social dynamics of energy consumption into energy modelling tools in order to develop sustainable energy scenarios that will be more useful in policy making.
There is a high demand for clean energy workforce in Africa, however, many universities in the region still produce more workforce for fossil fuels than for renewable energy industries and thus the supply of human capital is lagging greatly behind demand in solar and wind energy sectors. [17]
The Africa Renewable Energy Initiative (AREI) is an African initiative to increase the use of renewable energy on the continent. [1]The goal of the program is to create integrated solutions that will enhance human well-being, expand access to clean energy services, and set African nations on the path to development that is both climate-friendly and sustainable.
An energy transition (or energy system transformation) is a major structural change to energy supply and consumption in an energy system. Currently, a transition to sustainable energy is underway to limit climate change. Most of the sustainable energy is renewable energy. Therefore, another term for energy transition is
The environmental impact of the energy industry is significant, as energy and natural resource consumption are closely related. Producing, transporting, or consuming energy all have an environmental impact. [3] Energy has been harnessed by human beings for millennia. Initially it was with the use of fire for light, heat, cooking and for safety ...
Green growth is a concept in economic theory and policymaking used to describe paths of economic growth that are environmentally sustainable. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is based on the understanding that as long as economic growth remains a predominant goal, a decoupling of economic growth from resource use and adverse environmental impacts is required.
