Africa must set and follow its own energy transition agenda

We are becoming familiar with the concept of a ‘just’ energy transition, one that treats populations with different needs fairly. But for the large and diverse continent of Africa, it also needs to be based on an agenda developed by Africans, writes Andrew Mourant.

On the horizon: Norwegian CCUS vision soon to be made real

Despite cost overruns, Norway’s Northern Lights carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) project is heading towards start-up in 2025, with a first-phase capacity of 1.5mn t/y, rising to 5mn t/y in the second phase. That schedule puts the scheme in the running to be among Europe’s first large-scale CCUS projects to start up, reports New Energy World Senior Editor Will Dalrymple.

India boosts biomass by strengthening supply chains

A $100mn national programme is enabling the use of cattle dung, biomass and urban and industrial biowaste for energy recovery in India. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), these initiatives by the government may produce about 15% of India’s total energy demand. Currently, there are over 800 biomass power projects, along with bagasse and non-bagasse cogeneration projects, reports Raghavendra Verma.
