Solar or diesel: A comparison of costs for groundwater‐fed irrigation in Sub‐Saharan Africa under two energy solutions
Sub‐Saharan Africa has long been beset with food insecurity and energy poverty. Expanding irrigated agriculture can help boost food production in the region, but this requires energy for accessing water, especially in groundwater‐fed irrigation.
Estimation and determinants of multidimensional energy poverty among households in Nigeria
The sustainable use of clean and safe sources of energy is indeed a global challenge. Traditional and unsafe forms of energy use is predominant among households in sub-Saharan Africa.
Key drivers of Indian greenhouse gas emissions
The underlying drivers of changes in the greenhouse gas emissions over time in India are investigated using several complementary approaches.
This introductory paper sets out the rationale for revisiting questions surrounding biofuel futures in Southern Africa and exploring the case for the establishment of a regional market.
Since 2007, large and unexpected declines in generation costs for renewable energy systems, particularly solar but also wind, combined with policy measures designed to limit greenhouse gas emissions, have created a paradigm shift in energy systems
Energy and nutrient production in Ethiopia, 2011-2015: Implications to supporting healthy diets and food systems
Agricultural sector plays a key role towards achieving healthier diets that are deemed critical for improving health and nutritional outcomes. To what extent the current food supply systems support healthy diets remains unknown.
Projections show energy subsidy cuts may hamper economic growth in the short term, but will improve growth and household welfare in the longer term with support from appropriate policies and social protections.
Mozambique is one of the most promising African countries for producing biofuels and the national biofuel policy of 2009 identifies measures to incentivize biofuel production.
Economy-wide implications of biofuel production in Zambia
Potential biofuel demand in South Africa is estimated to increase to 1550 million litres by 2025 due to mandatory blending rates. Land and water constraints, however, limit the ability for domestic production.
An evaluation of energy supply strategies for Egypt’s power sector, identifying prospects to meet rising electricity demand while addressing energy security and low-carbon development issues.
Significant and mainly unpredicted advances in variable renewable energy technologies are resulting in structural shifts in energy systems globally causing an energy revolution.
What does it take to stabilise India’s sugar market?
Quantifying the sustainability of water availability for the water‐food‐energy‐ecosystem nexus in the Niger River Basin
Water, food, energy, and the ecosystems they depend on interact with each other in highly complex and interlinked ways.
