PROJECT LABS WEDNESDAY 17 INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ERADICATION OF POVERTY | PROJECT LABS 12:30 – 13:30 Renewable Energy in Africa Project Lab 1 Fabio Monforti-Ferrario, Action Leader, Renewable Energy Mapping and Monitoring, European Commission Sandor Szabo, Scientific Officer, Renewable Energy Mapping and Monitoring, European Commission The Joint Research Centre (JRC) will present the main findings of the recently published ‘Renewable energy in Africa – Current knowledge’ report. It provides a first analysis of African potential in renewable energy sources (solar, wind, biomass and hydropower), their cost efficiency and environmental sustainability. Renewable resources in Africa have been mapped and assessed against possible alternatives and bottlenecks. In northern Africa, the promising potential of renewable energies, in particular solar and wind, have to face the challenge of competing with cheap fossil fuel. In the case of biomass, the challenge is to improve sustainability and efficiency of traditional use and to provide a suitable alternative to overexploitation. In this regard, small hydroelectric power plants have proven strong potential. Organised by Joint Research Centre – European Commission 74 | EDD 2012 | AGENDA | WEDNESDAY 17
