Energy struggles: Renewable Energy in Africa

Great Discussions at Nuclear Power Ghana today. Learned lots about 🇬🇭 nuclear journey and ambitions. It was the vision of Kwame Nkrumah & been supported by various successive govts, but little has happened over the years. State-owned Nuclear Power Ghana (NPG) established in 2018

#Ghana launched its #Energy Transition framework (2022 – 2070) recently Has ambitious decarbonization targets Going big on #Nuclear power. #Gas share of energy mix set to decline in the 2050s, nuclear to take over #Solar & #wind to make 20% of installed generation by 2070. 🇬🇭

Carbon Capture Hydrogen, Electric vehicles 🚗 (EVs), clean cooking Stoves, and more are part of Net zero targets More than 70% of road vehicles to be #EVs & hydrogen fuelled by 2050 🇬🇭
