Natural Gas and the Clean Energy Transition

In the clean energy transition, the value of natural gas infrastructure is very important for operating the energy system. Gas-fired power plants contribute to optimized energy systems when they are designed to operate flexibly, responding to demand patterns and the variable supply of renewable energy. Smart electricity grids, renewable energy, battery storage technology, and gas-fired power plants in combination will generally be the lowest cost, low-carbon solution to the growing energy requirements of emerging markets. Private investors and financiers are responding to these opportunities, but the full potential will only be reached with improvements in policy, regulation, and procurement in...

Novel Bioenergy Crop Potential in the ECOWAS region

The project “Regional potential assessment of novel bio energy crops in fifteen ECOWAS countries” was started by the different project partners based on the need to make an overall assessment of a series of novel potential bio energy crops which can or could be grown and processed in the future in the 15 ECOWAS countries. This project fits in a broader strategic analysis of alternative energy needs and production, the key mandate of the main funding partner in the project, ECREEE. The project partners deliberately excluded conventional “bio energy” crops like sugarcane, oil palm, maize or sunflower as target crops,...

Planning Models for Electricity Access : Where Do we Go from Here

Well-integrated planning models can help cover the whole planning spectrum - from the national level down to granular distribution at the village level. Integration of models is critical to ensure that investment plans are realistic and accurately reflect the costs that utilities face in practice. The foregoing review of power system planning models and sophisticated stand-alone geographic information systems (GIS) - based models suggests the following questions: is there a need to bring the two paradigms closer? If so, do analytical frameworks exist to accomplish the task? Key word: technology need; increase in energy consumption; Access to Electricity; power system...
