Africa’s place in the emerging hydrogen economy. Hydrogen, as an energy carrier, is not new in Africa and around the world. It has a long history of uses, particularly in the metal, chemical and fertilizer industries. However, as the global pursuit of carbon-neutrality targets intensifies, the production of ‘clean’ hydrogen, has emerged as a key …
Africa is rich in all forms of renewable energy, all of which includes solar, wind, geothermal, and hydropower. This puts the continent in an advantaged position in using clean energy technologies, in the pursuit of sustainable development, energy access, energy security, and low-carbon economic growth and prosperity across the entire region. Africa has a priority …
Gas flaring in Nigeria, the burning of natural gas associated with oil extraction, has been a prevalent practice. Natural gas brought to the surface, especially where there is no infrastructure to put this “associated gas” to productive use is burnt for disposal thus making it a wasteful and generally polluting practice. An economy that promotes …
