Energy is essential to

  • Socio-economic development
  • Quality of life for the people
  • Global security
  • Environmental protection

The Energy situation in Africa

Few Energy Not Reliable Not affordable Not Clean nor Safe

World Energy Outlook 2014 by IEA

13% of the world’s population => 4% of energy demand 30% of global oil and gas discoveries are in SSA

Technical losses are twice the world average Sales lost for SMEs are huge (5-15 % of the total sales)

Electricity tariffs are among the highest in the world

No domestic market: 2/3 investment are for export

80% population rely on biomass (fuelwood/ charcoal) 40% rise in bioenergy => forestry stocks + health Energy situation is complex, diverse and multidisciplinary

1.4 Open Knowledge

A continuous flow of energy crosses our whole life. This course will take you on a journey of the world energy challenge. We hope to drive you in a journey of 50 hours that aims to change your perspective about the energy challenge showing not only complexity but even the opportunity we, as humankind, might gain from accelerating the transition toward a more sustainable energy system.

2.1 A comprehensive energy planning

Design of sustainable distributed energy solutions

Scientific Research 2

Mozambique Palma and Pemba Angola Huila and Namibe Tanzania for hybrid minigrid Somalia, RDC, Lebanon for refugees Malawi Energy facility Kenya, Chile Corporate Shared Value Tanzania for rural electrification Congo for modern cooking

2.2 Impact Evaluation Framework

for energy solutions

  • Local context driven
  • exploitation of local resources
  • Including “non technical elements”
  • Promoting scientific cooperation
  • Mathematical and

statistical procedure

  • Asset of capitals,

community livelihoods
