Doctoral Researcher Mulako Mukelabai, and Dr. Richard Blanchard, of Loughborough University, along with Professor Upul Wijayantha, now at Cranfield University, have outlined how Africa’s renewable energy resources and minerals can be utilized to provide clean energy to millions of households and help meet global net-zero targets. Africa’s rapid population and economic growth are expected to increase the continent’s energy consumption, so meeting this growing demand is key to mitigating emissions and enabling Africa’s growth. Published in the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews Journal, Mulako and the team’s research specifically focuses on the role hydrogen can play in decarbonizing Africa’s predicted future greenhouse gas emissions. Most of the current global hydrogen (80%) is produced through carbon-intensive methods involving methane. However, hydrogen can be…
