The long-term forecasting of energy supply and demand is prime importance in Africa due to the steady increase requirements, non-availability sufficient resources, high dependence on fossil-fuels meet these global concerns over energy-induced environmental issues. This paper concerned with modelling possible future paths for Africa's related emissions. Future forecasted based socio-economic variables such as gross domestic product, income per capita, population, urbanisation. Long-range...
This paper develops a scenario-based model to identify and provide an array of electricity demand in Africa, derive them from the African power system development. A system-based approach is performed by applying scenario methodology developed Schwartz context energy-economic modeling platform ‘Long-range Energy Alternative Planning’. Four scenarios are investigated. The Business as Usual (BAU) replicates regional national Master Plans. renewable-promotion increases share renewable energy...
Abstract Non-technical summary We identify a set of essential recent advances in climate change research with high policy relevance, across natural and social sciences: (1) looming inevitability implications overshooting the 1.5°C warming limit, (2) urgent need for rapid managed fossil fuel phase-out, (3) challenges scaling carbon dioxide removal, (4) uncertainties regarding future contribution sinks, (5) intertwinedness crises biodiversity loss change, (6) compound events, (7) mountain...
Abstract The global shift towards low-carbon economies and societies is expected to result in a substantial surge the demand for critical minerals. Endowed with at least fifth of world’s reserves dozen minerals, Africa can play pivotal role facilitating transition away from fossil fuels. In this paper, we argue that, happen, needs act now convert its natural assets into sustainable comparative advantages resource-based industrialisation. This will require proactive measures ensure strict...
This study applies a scenario-based analysis to assess the sustainability of energy transitions North African economies under Paris Agreement, by evaluating specific pace transition grounded in reality actual regional constraints. The 'Long-range Energy Alternative Planning' modelling platform is used simulate impact and climate policies set context global low-carbon on Africa's current system economies. Two scenarios are developed: reference Intended Nationally Determined Contribution...
Energy management strategies that ensure energy supply and demand related policies investment decisions consider all feasible demand- supply-side options are consistent with global goals for sustainable development essential achieving universal access. In this study, the Open Source Spatial Electrification Toolkit (OnSSET) is tested against case study of Cameroon. The results show access to modern services in Cameroon requires prioritising investments grid densification, extension,...
This study investigates the outcomes of reforms on performance cotton sector in Ghana and Burkina Faso. These structural policy have been aimed at promoting competition enhancing productivity, largely under pressure external donor agencies. The draws in-depth semi-structured interviews with stakeholders involved different aspects value chains two countries. In particular, it elicits their perception how affected six domains (input credit systems, price determination profit distribution,...
