Renewable energy in Africa
Africa has a large coastline, where wind power and wave power resources are abundant and underutilized in the north and south. Geothermal power has potential to provide considerable
Renewable energy in Africa
OverviewRenewable energy resourcesAvoiding fossil fuelsFinanceRenewable energy useSee alsoExternal links
Hydroelectric, wind and solar power all derive their energy from the Sun. The Sun emits more energy in one second (3.827 × 10 J) than is available in all of the fossil fuels present on earth (3.9 × 10 J), and therefore has the potential to provide all of our current and future global energy requirements. Since solar energy production has no direct emissions and does not require refueling, African nations can protect their peo
