Africa is on the cusp of a renewable energy revolution with offshore wind-to-hydrogen projects gaining momentum. While this segment is still evolving, recent developments in Europe and China are paving the way for a promising future in Africa. The history of harnessing wind power for hydrogen production dates back to Danish scientist Poul la Cour’s

Liberalizing energy markets in African countries to achieve true energy access across the continent is a pivotal topic stirring up conversations among experts and policymakers. The United Nations Sustainable Development Group’s research underscores a significant challenge – almost half of Africa’s population lacks electricity, contributing to over 80% of the global electricity access gap. Despite

Africa. A land of diverse landscapes, rich cultures, and untapped potential – especially when it comes to energy. Beneath the surface of the majestic East African Rift System lies a hidden treasure trove: geothermal energy. Imagine this: 20 gigawatts of geothermal power just waiting to be harnessed, pulsating beneath East Africa like a sleeping giant.

In the vast continent of Africa, where natural resources abound, a significant portion of the population still grapples with inadequate access to affordable and reliable electricity. Despite investments reaching about $110 billion in 2024, the International Energy Agency’s data reveals that this amount falls short of what is necessary to ensure universal energy access by

Bioenergy is like the superhero among renewable energy sources, derived from biological materials such as crops, forest residues, and organic waste. Imagine that! It’s basically using nature’s leftovers to power up our world. In Kenya and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), bioenergy has been a long-standing tradition, especially in rural areas where biomass reigns supreme. But hey,

In the bustling Central Market of Kaduna Metropolis, an ancient tradition meets modern scientific innovation. The aroma of fermented African locust beans, known locally as ‘Daddawa’, fills the air as researchers embark on a mission to revolutionize its production. “As we delve into the rich history and cultural significance of ‘Daddawa’, we also embrace cutting-edge

As the world transitions towards renewable energy sources, the role of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) becomes increasingly crucial. In Africa, where sustainable energy solutions are gaining momentum, experts like Gabriel Pako Isaacs from Botswana Power Corporation emphasize the necessity of implementing appropriate policies and regulations to govern the deployment of BESS effectively. Isaacs highlights
