3rd SDG International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications, 2025

Renewable energy, or green energy, is a renewable source replenished on a human timescale, with solar, wind, hydropower, bioenergy, and geothermal power being the most widely used types. These natural, self-replenishing energy sources typically have a low- or zero-carbon footprint. In Africa, despite its abundant energy resources, many citizens lack access to affordable energy, contributing to poor economic and social development.
