Africa Centre for Energy Policy, an African energy policy think tank, has advocated Africa’s inclusion in the production of renewable energy technologies.
“This means that Africa is missing a lot of opportunities when it comes to participating in the production of some of these technologies. That is why we are focused on the value chain; how African countries can engage meaningfully in the aspect of the value chain so that we can create the capacity for the production and development of some of these technologies.”
He called for the establishment of industries in Africa to enable “employment generation and help the youths to employ their skills in the aspect of renewable energy technologies”. Also, the Policy Lead, Petroleum and Conventional Energy, Kodzo Yaotse, noted that Africa was not taking giant strides in the implementation and participation of the discussion on climate change.
He further urged African leaders to ensure the standardisation of renewable energy technologies imported into their countries. The World Economic Forum in 2022 stated that although the African continent was rich in renewable energy sources, it remained heavily underutilised.All rights reserved.
