| Africa: 76% of Africa's Energy Could Come From Renewable Sources By 2040-Here's How
March 18, 2024--Over half of Africa's people -about 600 million- lack access to even the bare minimum of electricity. The tough question to answer is how access can be extended without adding to global warming by relying on fossil fuels. |
| We -a team from Rwanda and Germany who work in the field of renewable energy scientific modelling - set out to find the answer by building the Renewable Power Plant Database Africa, the first on the continent. I's a database of available open access data on hydro, wind and solar energy sources that we've analysed.
The database shows that some countries, such as Nigeria and Zimbabwe, have enough projects in the pipeline to potentially transition away from fossil fuels by 2050. |
