It delves into the challenges and opportunities presented by various renewable and clean energy technologies, including nuclear power, liquefied petroleum gas, bamboo biomass gasification, and geothermal energy, in addressing the energy needs of African nations. Additionally, the book assesses the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of renewable energy projects and evaluates their alignment with the African Union's Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals. Using a combination of theoretical and empirical methods, such as scenario-based modeling, techno-economic feasibility analysis, stakeholder theory, and panel data analysis, the book provides a comprehensive assessment of the renewable energy sector in Africa. Its interdisciplinary and cross-country approach, as well as its incorporation of innovative concepts like social innovation and bamboo-based development, makes it a unique resource. This book is valuable for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, university research libraries, research centers, and anyone interested in understanding how renewable energy can contribute to a more resilient and prosperous Africa. 0aRenewable energy sources.958133 0aAfricaxPolitics and government.967669 0aBusiness.958353 0aAfrica.96767014aRenewable Energy.96420624aAfrican Politics.96767124aAfrican Business.9676722 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303148527508iPrinted edition:z978303148529908iPrinted edition:z9783031485305 0aAdvances in African Economic, Social and Political Development,x2198-727096767340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-48528-2  aZDB-2-ENE  aZDB-2-SXEN  c56670d56670
