Starting with an analysis of the status quo and the outlook for Africa’s energy demand and energy access, it provides an account of the available resources, including hydrocarbons and renewable energy resources, which are playing an increasingly crucial role. It then moves on to analyze the level of investment required to scale-up Africa’s energy systems, shedding light on the key barriers and elaborating on potential solutions. It also provides a suggestion for improving the effectiveness of EU–Africa cooperation. While mainly intended for policymakers and academics, this book also speaks to a broader audience interested in gaining an overview of the challenges and opportunities of the African energy sector today and in the future.SpringerBriefs in Energy,2191-5520Energy policyEnergy and stateAfrica—Economic conditionsEconomic development—Environmental aspectsDevelopment economicsNatural resourcesEnergy securityEnergy Policy, Economics and Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/112000African Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45020Development and Sustainabilityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913110Development Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Natural Resource and Energy Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48010Energy Securityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/121000EnergyEnergy policyEnergy and stateAfrica—Economic conditionsEconomic development—Environmental aspectsDevelopment economicsNatural resourcesEnergy securityEnergy policy.Energy and state.Africa—Economic conditions.Economic development—Environmental aspects.Development economics.Natural resources.Energy security.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.African Economics.Development and Sustainability.Development Economics.Natural Resource and Energy Economics.Energy Security.333.79338.926Hafner Manfredauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut849043Tagliapietra Simoneauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autde Strasser Luciaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299598903321Energy in Africa1920134UNINA
